You can put this solution on YOUR website! write an equation in slope-intercept form for a line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line
y=5x;(2,-1)
Parallel lines have the same slope, so:
Slope of line #2 = 5
Plug-in the (x, y) values into y=mx+b
-1=(5)(2)+b [ solve for the b-term]
-1=10+b
-10-1=b
-11=b
Plug all of the values back into y=mx+b
y=5x-11
