Answer:


y = 2x - 8

Explanation:

If we are trying to find an equation with the same slope and that are parallel to y=2x+5 you can try to graph your way to the answer.

What I did was place the point (2,-8). then, I followed the slope path *rise/run*, and you should trace it down to "-8". Finally, plug your y-intercept in the equation.

Your done
