Parallel lines have the same left hand side, different right hand side.

Use the point to solve for .

Since the right hand sides are the same, the line already goes through (-4,-2) so there doesn't exist a parallel line that goes through the same point.

5x-4y=-12
5x+12=4y
(5/4)x+3=y
.
y=(5/4)x+3 . The parallel line will have slope (5/4)
.
Slope intercept form:
y=(5/4)x+b . Use given point to find b.
y=-2; x=-4
-2=(5/4)(-4)+b
-2=-5+b
3=b
.
y=mx+b
y=(5/4)x+3 . This is the same as the original equation
.
ANSWER: The original line goes through the given point
