Answer:

y=-3x+15

is the equation that passes through the point (5,0) and is the parallel line to y=-3x+2

Explanation:

find the slope of the original line and use the point-slope formula y-y₁=m(x-x₁) to find the parallel line of y=-3x+2, which if done correctly you should end up with y=-3x+15.

hope this helps
