Answer:

y = -5/4x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation they give you is in slope intercept form. y=mx+b. The m is the slope (-5/4). Since they want a parallel line you keep the same slope for point slope form. Point slope formula is y-y1=m(x-x1). the y1 and x1 are where you plug in the coordinates they give you.

y - 1 = -5/4x (x + 4)

y - 1 = -5/4x - 5

y = -5/4x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

i hope this makes sense lol. You can see it's a linear since it decrease at a steady rate. so you have to find the slope and find the y- intercept
