Answer:

y = -5x - 27

Step-by-step explanation:

First and foremost, parallel lines have SIMILAR RATE OF CHANGES [SLOPES], so we keep the -5. Moving forward, we simply plug the coordinate into the Slope-Intercept Formula, y = mx + b --> 3 = -5[-6] + b. Our y-intercept is [0, -27], therefore our parallel equation is y = -5x - 27.
