Answer:

The equation of this line would be y = 10x - 8

Explanation:

In order to find this we must first see that the parallel line has a slope of 10. Since they are parallel lines, they must have the same slope. So, we can use the slope and the point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = 10(x - 1)

y - 2 = 10x - 10

y = 10x - 8
