You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write an equation of the line passing through (5, 0) and parallel to the line y = 5x – 2.
----------------------
The slope, m, of y = 5x-2 is 5. It's in the slope-intercept form, y = mx+b
All lines parallel to it have the same slope.
Then use
y-y1 = m*(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is the point (5,0)
y = 5*(x-5)
y = 5x - 25
