Answer:

y = -3/5x +27/5

Explanation:

Since we want a parallel line, we can use the same x- and y-coefficients to find the new constant in the given form:

-3(4) -5(3) = -12 -15 = -27

In the given form, the equation of the desired line is ...

-3x -5y = -27

Solving for y, we have ...

-5y = 3x -27

y = -3/5x +27/5
