Answer:
y =
x +

Explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y =
x + 2 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m =

Parallel lines have equal slopes , thus
y =
x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (- 2, - 5) into the partial equation
- 5 = -
+ c ⇒ c = - 5 +
=

y =
x +
← equation of parallel line
