Question 944211
Write an equation of the line that contains the given point and is parallel to the given line. Write your final answer in slope-intercept form. 
5x + y = 8; (-4, 2)
y = -5x + 8
-----------------
The given line has slope = -5 
Ans Form:: y = mx + b
Solve for "b"::
2 = -5*-4 + b
b = -18
Ans:: y = -5x - 18
---------------------------
Write an equation of the line that contains the given point and is parallel to the given line. Write your final answer in slope-intercept form.
 (-9, 8); m = - 5 
Form:: y = mx + b
Solve for "b"::
8 = -5*9 + b
b = 53
Ans: y = -5x + 53
