Write an equation of the line that passes through (−5, 0) and is parallel to the line y=−45x−1.

Question

whas the answer plz

Answer 1

y=-45x -1 has slope = -45

any parallel line has the same slope

a parallel line through the point (-5,0)

is 0=-45(-5) + b

b = - 225

the parallel line is

y=-45x -225

UNLESS maybe you meant to write -4/5 not -45?

then

y=(-4/5)x +b

0=(-4/5)(-5) +b

b = -4

y= (-4/5)x -4 is the parallel line through (-5,0)
