Question

I need help on my math

Answer 1

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
