    Write an equation line containing the given point in parallel to the given line. So the first thing we need to do is we need to figure out what the slope of this given line is. So if we solve for Y -5 Y equal negative four X + 8 and divide so Y equal 4 fifths, X -, 8 fifths. So we know the slope is always the number that's multiplied by the X. So the slope is 4/5. So now we want to figure out the parallel. So we're going to have, we're going to use our point slope form that says y -, y one equal m * X -, X one. So y - -1 equal 4 fifths. X - -3 excuse the Kitty cat in the background, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it. So we get y + 1 equaling 4 fifths. X -, + -, a negative 12 fifths. So then we're going to subtract the one over. So we get Y equal 4/5 X 12 fifths -1 well, we could think of one as 5 fifths. So Y is going to equal 4 fifths X + 7 fifths.
