Answer: y = 2x+22
========================================================
Explanation:
The equation y = 2x+5 is in the form y = mx+b
m = 2 = slope
b = 5 = y intercept
Parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts. So the answer will be in the form y = 2x+c, where b and c are different numbers. Since b = 5, this means c must be some other number. If c = 5, then we'd have the exact same line.
Let's plug in (x,y) = (-5,12), along with the slope m = 2, and solve for c
y = mx+c
12 = 2(-5)+c
12 = -10+c
12+10 = c
22 = c
c = 22
Since m = 2 and c = 22, we go from y = mx+c to y = 2x+22
The equation of the parallel line is y = 2x+22
The graph is below.
