Answer:

y = - 8x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 8x + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 8

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = - 8x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

To find c substitute (1, - 2) into the partial equation

- 2 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = - 2 + 8 = 6

y = - 8x + 6 ← equation of parallel line

Answer:

y = -2x^2 -4x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex is at (-1,7)  and the y intercept is at (0,5)

The vertex form of a parabola is

y = a(x-h)^2 +k

where (h,k) is the vertex

y = a(x--1)^2 +7

Then substitute the point into the equation

y = a(x+1)^2 +7

5  = a(0+1)^2 +7 +7

Subtract 7 from each side

5-7 = a(1)^2

-2 = a

y = -2(x+1)^2 +7

Now FOIL

y = -2 (x^2 +2x+1) +7

Then distribute

y = -2x^2 -4x-2 +7

y = -2x^2 -4x +5
