@Chikibabylovesyou  Hi,

can you find the slope of line y=4x-6 ?

anonymous · Answer

The slope is 4

hartnn · Answer

parallel lines have same slope, 
so the slope of required line is also 4.
now you have slope = m=4 and a point = (x1,y1)=(-5,-1)
can you find the equation of line ?

hartnn · Answer

the point slope form of equation of line is 
$\large y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$
where m=slope =4 here.
point =(x1,y1)= (-5,-1) --->x1=-5,y1=-1
just plug in values!

So, y=4x+19

hartnn · Answer

yes, thats correct! good work :)
