Answer 1

(-4,4)

5x+2y=-8

First, write the equation in slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

Where:

m= slope

b= y-intercept

2y=-5x-8

y= (-5x-8)/2

y= -5/2x-4

m= -5/2

Parallel lines have the same slope.

So far we have:

y=-5/2x+b

Replace (x,t) by the given point and solve for b_:

4=-5/2(-4)+b

4 = 10+b

4-10 = b

b= -6

Equation:

y=-5/2x-6
