    OK, so to do this one, we need to figure out the slope first. So two X -, 5 Y equal 4. We're going to solve for Y so we can put it in slope intercept form, subtract the 2X and divide by -5 a -2 / A negative 5 is going to give us a positive 2/5. So we're going to get Y equal 2/5 X -4 fifths. Now the slope here is 2/5, and on this problem we want it to be parallel. So we're going to have Y minus our given point. We're going to use point slope form y - -4 equal 2 fifths X - -7. So y + 4 equal 2 fifths X + 7. Now the directions say we want to put it in Y equal MX plus B4. So we're going to distribute out that 2 fifths 2/5 X. If I have 2/5 * 7, that seven is understood over one. So y + 4 equal to fifths, X + 14 fifths. Multiply the numerators. Multiply the denominator. We're going to subtract the four to the other side. So 2 fifths X + 14 fifths -4 we need to turn that four into fifths. Y equal 2 fifths X + 14 fifths that 4 / 1. Think of 4 / 1. How many fifths when we multiply the one by five? So we've got to multiply the four also by 5 S 4 / 1 is really 20 fifths. Once we get the same denominators. If we're adding or subtracting, we just combine the numerators. So Y = 2 fifths, X -, 6 fifths. That's 5 - 6 fifths.
