step 1

Find out the slope of the given line

y=-2x+5

the slope is m=-2

Remember that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal

that means

the slope of the parallel line is m=-2 too

step 2

Find out the equation of the line in slope-intercept form

y=mx+b

we have

m=-2

point (-4,-2)

substitute and solve for b

-2=-2(-4)+b

-2=8+b

b=-10

therefore

the answer is

y=-2x-10
