Write an equation of the line that is parallel to y = 1 2 x + 3 and passes through the point (10, -5)

If the two right lines is parallel than theirs coefficient of direction is equal.

The explicit form of the right line is y=kx+l , where k is coefficient of direction and l is intersection with y axis.

In our case k=12 and when we replace (x,y) = (10,-5) in equation we get

-5=12 * 10 + l => l=-125 and equation is y=12x-125

Good luck!!!
