-x%2B5y keeps the same slope for the parallel line.

-x%2B5y=-%28-5%29%2B5%28-5%29
-x%2B5y=5-25
-x%2B5y=-20

highlight%28x-5y=-20%29, which IS STILL the same slope.


You can change into slope intercept form if you want. How? SOLVE FOR y IN TERMS OF x. Can you follow this?
Ax%2BBy=C
By=C-Ax
By=-Ax%2BC
y=-Ax%2FB%2BC%2FB

Compare that to y=mx+b. You see how the parts correspond.
