Hi

Parallel Lines have Equal Slopes 

& y+=+highlight_green%28m%29x+%2B+highlight%28b%29 is the standard slope-intercept form 

4x+5y=-35   |Solve for y

0r

5y = -4x -35

or

y = (-4/5)x - 7

m = highlight_green%28-4%2F5%29 is the slope of a line parallel to line 4x+5y=-35

Wish You the Best in your Studies.

Sketching: y = (-4/5)x - 7 (Green)  and y =  (-4/5)x + 2  

 as an example of one Line parallel to  y =  (-4/5)x - 7
