Since the given line is parallel to the desired line, it has the same slope. The slope-intercept form of a line is given by y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
The slope of the given line is -4, so the desired line also has a slope of -4.
We can now plug the point (-5, -3) into the slope-intercept form to find the y-intercept (b):
-3 = -4(-5) + b
-3 = 20 + b
b = -23
Therefore, the equation for the desired line is y = -4x - 23.
Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the given equation.
(-5, -3); y=-4x + 4
Write an equation for the line in slope-intercept form.
