Remember that the slope intercept formula is:

y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

If lines are parallel then they have the same slope (m)

This means that the slope of the line will be 2

y = 2x + b

Now we must find b

To do that you must plug in the point the line goes through in the x and y of the equation.

(1, 5)

5 = 2(1) + b

5 = 2 + b

3 = b

y = 2x + 3

Hope this helped!
