Answer:

the correct answer is the third option:y=-2/5x+5

Explanation:

let's change this to y=mx+b format

2x+5y=25

subtract both sides by 2x

5y=-2x+25

divide both sides by 5

y=-2/5x+5

if your equation is in mx+b form, the coefficient of x is your slope.

Now that we know the slope, a line parallel to a given line will have the same slope.

The only option with the slope -2/5 is the third option
