Answer:
y = - 2x + 1
Explanation:
Parallels line have the same slope, when an equation is in the form y= mx + b, m is the slope. In this problem slope = - 2
Now with the slope what is missing is the y-intercept, the problem says that the line contains the point (-2, 5), replacing that point in the equation you can solve it to find the y-intercept
y = mx + b
5 = (-2)(-2) + b
5 = 4 + b
1 + b
y = - 2x +1
