4 x -5 y = 7
Find the slope of this line
-5 y = -4 x + 7 0.8
Divide by -5
y = 0.8 x + -1.4
Compare this equation with y=mx+b
slope m = 0.8
The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same
The slope of the required line will be 0.8
m=0.8 ,point(-5,7)
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
y=mx+b
7=-4.00+b
b=11
m=0.8
Plug value of the slope and b
The required equation isy=0.8x+11
