Answer:

Slope - intercept form y = 5x+17

The equation of the parallel line to the given line is 5x-y +17=0

Explanation:

Explanation

The equation of the straight line is y= 5x+2

5x - y +2=0

The equation of the straight line is 5x-y+2=0

Given that the point(-3,2)

The equation of the parallel line to the given line is

5x -y +k=0

5(-3) - 2+k=0

-15 -2 +k =0

-17 +k=0

k =17

The equation of the parallel line to the given line is 5x-y +17=0

Final answer:-

Slope - intercept form y = mx+c

Slope - intercept form y = 5x+17
