#y=5x+6#

Explanation:

#• " parallel lines have equal slopes"#

#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.

#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#

#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#

#y=5x-3" is in this form"#

#"with "m=5#

#rArry=5x+blarrcolor(blue)"is the partial equation"#

#"to find b substitute "(-2,-4)#
#"into the partial equation"#

#-4=-10+brArrb=-4+10=6#

#rArry=5x+6" is equation of parallel line"#

The equation of the given line
#y=5x-3#

Since the line we are asked to find is parallel to the given line, their slope must be equal.

The slope of the given line#=#The slope of the unknown line#=5#

( I hope you know how to find the slope using the equation of the line)

Now,
The unknown line also passes through #(-2,-4)#

Applying the Point-Slope Form,
#y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)#

where,
#(x_1,y_1)# are the coordinates of the point that lies on the line.

#(y+4) = 5(x+2)#

#5x -y +6=0#

#y=5x+6#

Explanation:

If two line are parallel, then they have he same gradient:

Gradient of #y=5x-3# is 5.

Equation of a line:

#y_2-y_1=m(x_2-x_1)#

Equation of line passing through point #( -2 , -4 )#

#y-(-4)=5(x-(-2)#

#y+4=5(x+2)#

#y+4=5x+10#

#y=5x+6#
