y = - 4x - 2
the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
y = - 4x - 5 is in this form
with slope m = - 4
• Parallel lines have equal slopes
y = - 4x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (- 2, 6 ) into the partial equation
6 = 8 + c ⇒ c = 6 - 8 = - 2
y = - 4x - 2 ← equation of parallel line
Plug it into the distance formula.
d= (sqrt) (x2-x1)^2 +(y2-y1)^2
d= (sqrt) (17-17)^2 + (33-(-21)^2
d=(sqrt) (0)^2 + (33 +21)^2
d= (sqrt) (54)^2
d= (sqrt) 2916
d=54
The distance is 54 units.
I hope this helps!

N(-5/8)=-0.4
times both sides by -8/5
n(-40/-40)=3.2/5
n1=0.64
n=0.64
I wanna help you but I don’t understand sorry
