A line equation written in slope-intercept form is


y=mx+b

Where m represents the slope of the line and b the y-intercept. The given line in the text is


f(x)=-5x-3

This line have a slope equal to - 5 and an intercept equal to - 3. Parallel lines have the same slope, therefore, our desired line have the following format


g(x)=-5x+b

To find the intercept, we can use the point that belongs to our line.


g(2)=12\Rightarrow12=-5\cdot2+b\Rightarrow b=22

Then, our line is


g(x)=-5x+22
