Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope.

So from the given equation we are able to find the common slope such as:

8x + 9y + 5 = 0 subtract 8x and 5 to both sides

9y = -8x - 5 divide by 9 to both sides

y = (-8/9)x - 5/9

Using the slope m = -8/9 and the point (-8, 2) we write the point-slope form of the equation of the required line.

(y - y1) = m(x - x1)

(y - 2) = (-8/9)(x + 8)

y - 2 = (-8/9)x - 64/9

y - 2 + 2 = (-8/9)x - 64/9 + 2

y = (-8/9)x - 46/9 this is the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that contain the point (-8, 2) and parallel to the given line.
