Answer:
the desired equation is y = (-1/5)x - 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope. Here that slope is -1/5.
Let's use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line:
y = mx + b
We know this new line passes through (-10, -3). Substitute -3 for y in y = mx + b, as well as -10 for x and -1/5 for m:
-3 = (-1/5)(-10) + b and solve for b:
-3 = 2 + b. Then b = -5, and the desired equation is y = (-1/5)x - 5.
