Answer:

The answer is

[tex]y = - 5x - 1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

To find the equation of the parallel line we must first find the slope of the original line

The original line is y = - 5x + 4

Comparing with the general equation above

Slope / m = - 5

The equation of the line using point (-1,4) and slope - 5 is

[tex]y - 4 = - 5(x + 1) \\ y - 4 = - 5x - 5 \\ y = - 5x - 5 + 4[/tex]

We have the final answer as

[tex]y = - 5x - 1[/tex]

Hope this helps you
