Answer:

y=x-3

Explanation:

Graph y=x-5 and the point (1,-2). You want your slope to be the same for the lines to be parallel. The slope in the given equation is 1/1. Type into a graphing calculator y=x- and pick a number greater than negative five since the point (1,-2) is above the given line. Guess and checking reveals -3 to be the correct answer. Therefore, your answer is y=x-3.
