What is the equation, in slope- intercept form, of the line parallel to y=5x+2 that passes through the point with coordinates (-2,1) I also have to show my work

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

y=5x+2

point (-2,1) x1 = -2 y1 = 1

equation of the line parallel (slope-intercept form) = ?

Step 02:

y=5x+2 ===> m = 5

Slope of the parallel line, m’

m’ = m

m' = 5

Point-slope form of the line

(y - y1) = m (x - x1)

(y - 1) = 5 (x - (-2))

y - 1 = 5 (x + 2)

y = 5x + 10 + 1

y = 5x + 11 ====> Slope-intercept form of the line

The answer is:

The equation of the line parallel (slope-intercept form) is y = 5x + 11
