write and equation in point slope form for a line parallel to y=5x-8 and goes through the point (-2,7).
If it is parallel to the above line then the slope, which is 5 would be the same, so use this formula to build your equation
y-y1=m%28x-x1%29 plug in the given x and y coordinates into x1 and y1 and you get
y-7=5%28x%2B2%29
