Step 1: Find the original slope. We have y = 5X. So, our first slope is 5.
step 2: We want the parallel slope. So, we use the same slope from step 1; 5.
step 3: Put slope and point information into slope intercept form to find b.
-1+=+%285%29%2A2+%2B+b
b+=+-11
step 4: write the equation:
y+=+5x+-+11
