----------------------------------------------
through (6,-5) and is parallel to y=-8x-3
-----------------------------------------------


compared to y=mx+b,
slope is -8, so this will be same for the line to be parallel to given line.

y-%28-5%29=-8%28x-6%29-------using point-slope form directly

y%2B5=-8x%2B48
y%2B8x=48-5
highlight%288x%2By=43%29
