You can put this solution on YOUR website! the line passes through the points 5,-4 and is parallel to the line y=5x+1
--------
(5,-4) is one point, not points.
The slope of y=5x+1 is 5.
y = mx+b --> m=5, b=1
Lines parallel have the same slope.
y-y1 = m*(x-x1) (x1,y1) is the point (5,-4)
y+4 = 5*(x-5) = 5x-25
y = 5x-29
