Question

What is the equation of a line that passes through (-2,-7) and is parallel to y = -5x + 4?

Answer 1

This is a slope-point problem. The slope (obviously) `=-5`
(the `+4` is not important)

Explanation:

`y=m*x+b`

Use what you know:
`-7=(-5)*(-2)+b->`
`-7=+10+b->b=-17`

Answer: `y=-5x-17`
graph{-5x-17 [-46.26, 46.23, -23.12, 23.14]}
