Answer:
y = -5x + 22 is the equation of our parallel line
Step-by-step explanation:
remember a parallel line will have the same slope.
So let's begin by using the equation above and substituting the points.
[tex]y = - 5x + b \\ - 8 = - 5(6) + b \\ - 8 = - 30 + b \\ 30 - 8 = b \\ b = 22[/tex]
therefore our parallel line would be
[tex]y = - 5x + 22[/tex]
