Answer

point-slope form: $y+10=-4(x+8)$ slope-intercept form: $y=-4x-42$

Work Step by Step

Step 1. As the line is parallel to the line $y=-4x+3$, thus, we have its slope $m=-4$ Step 2. As the line passes through the point $(-8,-10)$, we can write the line equation in point-slope form as $y+10=-4(x+8)$ Step 3.The above equation can be rewritten in slope-intercept form as $y=-4x-42$
