Hello there! :)
Parallel lines have the same slope, so if one line has a slope of -14, then the line parallel to it has a slope of -14 as well.
We are also given a point that the line passes through.
That's enough information to find the equation of the line.
First, we write the equation in point-slope form, which looks like so:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y1 is the y-coordinate of the point, m is the slope of the line and x1 is the x-coordinate of the point.
y-4=-14(x-4)
y-4=-14x+56
y=-14x+60
Hence, that's the equation. Hope it helps.
