We have the equation as;

[tex]y\text{ = -5x + 38}[/tex]

The general equation of a straight line is the form;

[tex]y\text{ = mx + b}[/tex]

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

From the equation given, the slope is -5

Mathematically, when two lines are parallel, the slope of the two lines are equal

So we have the slope of the second line as -5

The equation of the second line
