The slope is 5 and<span>. For two lines to be parallel, both of their slopes must be the same. Therefore, our "new" line mus have the slope of 5. . Given that we know the slope (5) and a single point (-2, -13) we stuff that into the "point slope" equation: y - y1 = m(x - x1) y + 13 = 5(x + 2)</span>
