Parallel lines have the same slope.
...
2x+y=5
rearranges in the y=mx+b form as
highlight%28y+=+-2x+%2B+5%29
The slope is -2
...
Using the slope of -2 and the coordinates (0,1)
put them into the point slope formula
y - 1 = -2(x-0)
y - 1 = -2x - 0
highlight_green%28y+=+-2x+%2B+1%29
...
graph%28300%2C200%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C-2x%2B5%2C-2x%2B1%29
