Write a point-slope equation for the line that passes through the point (6,8)and is parallel to the line given byy=-5x + 4. Do not use parenthesis on the y side.

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
