Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
rewrite the equation in slope intercept form
y = - 5x + 8
so, the slope is -5
to find an equation parallel to 5x + y = 8, they must have the same slope. so you need to use the slope of 5x + y = 8 and the point (-4, 2) to find the parallel line.
use the point-slope formula: y= mx +c
m= -5; x= -4; y= 2
2 = -5(-4) + c
2= 20 +c
-18 = c
the new equation in slope intercept form is y = -5x -18
