    y = 8 - 5x

    Step-by-step explanation:

    both equations shares the same gradient as they are parallel

    from y = 9-5x, the gradient is - 5

    subst x = 0, y=8, and m = - 5 into the y = mx + c to find the value of c

    8 = (-5) (0) + c

    c = 8

    therefore the eqn is y = 8 - 5x
