Find the equation of the line that has the given properties.
Contains (-4,-2); parallel to the line y = – 5x + 3
The equation of the parallel line is .
(Type your answer in slope-intercept form.)

Answer 1

Answer: y = -5x - 22

Explanation:

Use the Point-Slope formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

• m = -5 (parallel means it has the same slope)
• (x₁, y₁) = (-4, -2)

y - (-2) = -5(x - (-4))

y + 2 = -5(x + 4)

y + 2 = -5x - 20

y = -5x - 22
