Answer:

The line would be y = 4/5x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we first need to note that the original slope is 4/5. And since parallel lines have the same slope, we know our new line will have that same slope. Now, we can use that slope and the point in point-slope form and solve for y.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = 4/5(x - 5)

y - 1 = 4/5x - 4

y = 4/5x - 3
