You can put this solution on YOUR website! write the equation of the line parallel with the points (4,-1) and (8,-5)
...
slope = (-5-(-1)/8-4
slope m = -4/4 = -1
..
the parallel line will also have the same slope. -1
y= mx+b
take any one point from above and plug the values to get b
-1=-1*4+b
-1=-4+b
b=3
...
m= 3/2b= -7
equation = y= -x +3
