Find the Parallel Line y=-5/4x+7 (-4,1)

$y = - \frac{5}{4} x + 7$ $(- 4, 1)$

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Combine $x$ and $\frac{5}{4}$ .

$y = - \frac{x \cdot 5}{4} + 7$

Move $5$ to the left of $x$ .

$y = - \frac{5 x}{4} + 7$

Write in $y = m x + b$ form.

Reorder terms.

$y = - (\frac{5}{4} x) + 7$

Remove parentheses.

$y = - \frac{5}{4} x + 7$

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $- \frac{5}{4}$ .

$m = - \frac{5}{4}$

To find an equation that is parallel, the slopes must be equal. Find the parallel line using the point-slope formula.

Use the slope $- \frac{5}{4}$ and a given point $(- 4, 1)$ to substitute for $x_{1}$ and $y_{1}$ in the point-slope form $y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1})$ , which is derived from the slope equation $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ .

$y - (1) = - \frac{5}{4} \cdot (x - (- 4))$

Simplify the equation and keep it in point-slope form.

$y - 1 = - \frac{5}{4} \cdot (x + 4)$

Solve for $y$ .

Simplify $- \frac{5}{4} \cdot (x + 4)$ .

Rewrite.

$y - 1 = 0 + 0 - \frac{5}{4} \cdot (x + 4)$

Simplify terms.

Apply the distributive property.

$y - 1 = - \frac{5}{4} x - \frac{5}{4} \cdot 4$

Combine $x$ and $\frac{5}{4}$ .

$y - 1 = - \frac{x \cdot 5}{4} - \frac{5}{4} \cdot 4$

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Move the leading negative in $- \frac{5}{4}$ into the numerator.

$y - 1 = - \frac{x \cdot 5}{4} + \frac{- 5}{4} \cdot 4$

Cancel the common factor.

$y - 1 = - \frac{x \cdot 5}{4} + \frac{- 5}{4} \cdot 4$

Rewrite the expression.

$y - 1 = - \frac{x \cdot 5}{4} - 5$

Move $5$ to the left of $x$ .

$y - 1 = - \frac{5 x}{4} - 5$

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $1$ to both sides of the equation.

$y = - \frac{5 x}{4} - 5 + 1$

Add $- 5$ and $1$ .

$y = - \frac{5 x}{4} - 4$

Write in $y = m x + b$ form.

Reorder terms.

$y = - (\frac{5}{4} x) - 4$

Remove parentheses.

$y = - \frac{5}{4} x - 4$
