Step-by-step explanation:
the point-slope form is
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
where (x1, y1) is a point on the line.
m is the slope of the line, which is always (in any form) the factor of x.
the parallel line has -2/8 as factor of x, which is therefore also the slope of our new line (after all, it has to be parallel, so it must have the same slope).
so, we have
y + 5 = -2/8 × (x - 4)
which can be simplified, of course, to
y + 5 = -1/4 × (x - 4)
