An army of orcs has marched upon King Amit's stronghold, setting up camp a safe distance away (or so they think!). What the orcs
don’t know is that the king and his engineers have spent the past decade developing advanced catapulting technology. King Amit has created a map to help him compute the distance from each of his two best catapults to the enemy orc camp (shown below). To what distance should King Amit calibrate catapult B to fire?

Slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b where m= slope and b=y-intercept.
First step is to compare this line with the given line y=5x+2 to get the value of m.
After comparing we will get m=5.
Now slope of all parallel lines are equal which means if slope of this line is 5 then slope of the line which is parallel to this line will also be 5.
Point- slope form of a line is:
Given the line passes through (-6,-1). So, plug in x1=-6, y1=-1 and m=5 in the above equation. So,
y-(-1)=5(x-(-6))
y+1=5(x+6)
y+1=5x+30
y=5x+30-1
y=5x+29.
