find the equation of the line that contains the given point and is parallel to the given line (-7,-4);y=-4x-5
**
Standard form of equation for a straight line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
For parallel line:
slope=-4 (same as given line)
equation:
y=-4x+b
solving for b using coordinates of given point (-7,-4)
-4=-4*-7+b
b=-32
Equation of parallel line:
y=-4x-32
