Question 1047440: Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line described:
through: (4,-5), parallel to y=-7/4x+2
I tried this problem and got the exact same slope as the parallel line both times.. Can someone help me please?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=(-7/4)x+2
Parallel Lines Have the Same Slope....
2nd Line
***Using point-slope form, y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+highlight_green%28m%29%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29
y + 5 = (-7/4)(x - 4)
y = (-7/4)x + 2
They are the same Line
