Parallel line will have the same slope as the given line, and this means the coefficients on the variables will be unchanged. The vertical axis intercept of the expected parallel line is given and the value will fit directly into the slope-intercept equation form.

Do you know how to find the slope for these two parallel lines? Are you familiar with slope-intercept equation form? Can you justify that the line you want is y=-5x%2B12 ?
