do you know what the "point-slope" form looks like?

maddyx · Answer

if line is parallel to y=-8x + 14, its equation has to be y=-8x+c ---(1) 

now you have been given (-2 , 5). Put this point in equation (1). Get the value of 'c' 

now you have y = -8x + c (which you got) -- this is the equation.

@maddyx  that is not actually the "point-slope" form

maddyx · Answer

i know, wait doing it :D

maddyx · Answer

c = -11 
so, we can write y=-8x-11 
or, y = -8x - 16 +5 
take 5 to the other side and take common the rest
that will be the answer
