Fill in the blanks with integers, and select the correct operator ( or -), to give an equation whose graph is the line that passes through the point (-2, 5) and is parallel to the graph of 4x 3y=-8.

The given line is 4x + 3y = -8, so its slope is -4/3. A parallel line through (-2,5) has slope -4/3. Use point–slope:

y - 5 = (-4/3)(x + 2)
y - 5 = (-4/3)x - 8/3
y = (-4/3)x + 7/3

Multiply by 3: 4x + 3y = 7.

So the equation is 4x + 3y = 7 (use the + operator).
