Answer:
y = - 8x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - 8x + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - 8
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus
y = - 8x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line
To find c substitute (1, - 2) into the partial equation
- 2 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = - 2 + 8 = 6
y = - 8x + 6 ← equation of parallel line
