Answer:

The equation of the parallel line is y = 5x + 11

Explanation:

→ Parallel lines have same slopes and different y-intercepts

→ The slope-intercept form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

In our question

∵ The equation of the given line is y = 5x + 2

→ Compare it with the form above to find its slope

m = 5

∵ The two lines are parallel

∴ Their slopes are equal

The slope of the parallel line is 5

→ Substitute it in the form of the equation above

y = 5x + b

→ To find the value of b substitute x and y in the equation by the

coordinates of any point on the line

∵ The line passes through point (-2, 1)

x = -2 and y = 1

∵ 1 = 5(-2) + b

∴ 1 = -10 + b

→ Add 10 to both sides

∴ 1 + 10 = -10 + 10 + b

11 = b

→ Substitute value of b in the equation

∴ y = 5x + 11

The equation of the parallel line is y = 5x + 11
