Write an equation for the line that is parallel to y = 10x + 16 and that passes through the point (-2,5).
------
Form: y = mx + b
--
y = 5 when x = -2, and slope must be 10
------
5 = 10*-2 + b
b = 25
-----
Equation:
y = 10x + 25

The slope of is 10
...
Parallel lines have the same slope.
...
Using the slope of 10 and the coordinate (-2,5), solve for b, y-intercept.
5 = 10(-2)+b
b = 5 + 20 = 25
