Answer:

y = 12x - 125

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 12x + 3 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 12

• Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = 12x + c ← is the partial equation

to fond c substitute (10, - 5 ) into the partial equation

- 5 = 12(10) + c = 120 + c ( subtract 120 from both sides )

- 125 = c

y = 12x - 125 ← equation of parallel line
