y = 4/5 x -2
Compare this equation with y=mx+b
slope m = 4/5
The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same
The slope of the required line will be 4/5
m= 4/5 ,point ( 15 , -2 )
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
y=mx+b
-2 = 12 + b
b= -14
m= 4/5
Plug value of the slope and b in y = mx +b
The required equation is y = 4/5 x -14
