See the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point-slope form and in slope-intercept from. through (-2, -7) and parallel to the line whose equation is y = -4x + 5 Write an equation toe the line in point-slope form. Simplify your answer. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the equation.)
Solution
Slope of line y = -4x+5 is -4.
Slope of parallel lines are same. So, the slope of our required line would also be -4.
Now, slope is -4 and the line passes through (-2,-7)
Now, y-y1 = m (x-x1)
y - (-7) = -4(x-(-2))
y+7 = -4(x+2)
y+7 = -4x-8
y=-4x-8-7
y=-4x-15 (Answer)
