Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: in the ordered pair -2 represents x and 1 represents y. A parallel line will have the same slope. The slope will be found next to the x. Y=mx+b where m=slope. Your slope in the problem is identified as 5. You may plug that into slope intercept form: y=5x+b. Then substitute-2 for x and 1 for y in the equation. 1=5(-2)+b. We will be solving for b which is your y-intercept. Multiply 5(-2) which gives you -10. You now have 1=(-10) + b. Add 10 to both sides of the equation and you get 11=b. Plug 11 into the equation y=5x+b for b giving you y=5x+11.
