Here, we want to get the equation of a straight line
The general equation of a straight line is;
[tex]y\text{ = mx + b}[/tex]where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
We already have the y-intercept as -5
Now, if two lines are parallel, they have equal slope
So, the slope of the equation we are looking for is 4 too
Hence, the equation of the line we are looking for written in the general form is;
[tex]y\text{ = 4x-5}[/tex]
