The slope will be unchanged for parallel and the "point" to include in the point-slope form equation will be (-4,-5).

;
One should understand how point-slope form works.

The equation:  has a slope of 

The equation being formed will have the same slope,  since the lines of both equations are parallel

Using the slope, , the point (- 4, - 5), and the point-slope formula: , we get:
