Given:
The given equation of line is
To find:
The equation of line that passes through (-5,4) and is parallel to the given line.
Solution:
Slope intercept form of a line is
...(i)
where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.
We have,
...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get
Slope of given line is .
Slope of parallel lines are same. So, slope of parallel line is .
The required line passes through (-5,4) with slope . So, the equation of line is
Adding 4 on both sides, we get
Therefore, the correct option is a.
