Which is less, 2/5 or 4/5?
I'll use a cake for explanation.
Suppose we have a cake, and one of your companions, Mary, is hungry, so she takes 2/5 of one cake. Then, your other friend, Bella, takes 4/5 of the cake.
Then you compare the cakes. Who has less, Mary or Bella?
That's right, Mary.
So 2/5 is less than 4/5.

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.
Be carefully, normally there is no a in your expression. I think you made a mistake.
Hope this helps !
