Answer:

y=-8x-11

Explanation:

Since the line is parallel to y=-8x+14, it has the same slope, or -8. Using slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, or y= -8x+b. Plugging in the point (-2,5) for x and y,

5 = -8*-2+b, 5=16+b, or b=-11. Plugging this into y=mx+b, y=-8x-11.

Answer:

y=-8x-11

Step-by-step explanation:since slope is -8 and (-2,5) is a point its 2*-8 away from the y intercept so (0,5-16)=0,-11 so it is y=-8x-11
