Question 423677
-x-y =	4	
Find the slope of this line 
y=-x-4	
Divide by 	1						
y=0.75x-4	
Compare this equation with y=mx+b							
slope m =0.75						
							
The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same							
							
The slope of the required line will be 0.75				
							
m=	0.75	,point	(-5,1)
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in							
y=mx+b							
1=-3.75	+b			
b=4.75						
m=0.75						
The required equation is	y=0.75x+	4.75
