Answer:

y=5x-23

Explanation:

y=mx+b is the slope intercept form

m is slope

And b is y intercept

We know the line will have a slope of 5 since they are parallel both lines will have the same slope

y=5x+b

To find b we put in the given coordinates (4,-3)

-3=5(4)+b

-3=20+b

-20 -20

-23=b

Now we just plug in b

y=5x-23

Hopes this helps
