Passing through (-8,-6) and parallel to the line whose equation is y=-5x+1.
--------
The given line has a slope = -5.
--------
(y--6) = -5(x--8)
y +6 = -5(x+8)
y = -5x-46
-----------------
Write an equation for the line in point-slope form y +6 = -5(x+8). Write an equation for the slope-intercept form y = -5x-46.
