Explanation:

y= 5x+2

Well first, parallel equations will always have to same slope so we know one part of the equation, 5x

I always plug in random numbers for b into desmos until the line passes through the given point orrrr you can use the point, plug it into the equation, and solve for b

-2=5(5)+b
