Problem

A main road in a town is represented by the line 4x−5y+20=04x-5y+20=0. (i) Through the point (−3,7)(-3,7), find the equation of a side road that is parallel to the main road. Express your answer in slope–intercept form. (ii) Rewrite the same equation in intercept form. (iii) Verify, by comparing slopes, that the two roads are parallel.
