Answer:

5x-y=50

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same

In this problem

The west edge of the basketball court is located on the line

y = 5x + 2 -----> the slope of this line is m=5

If the east edge cannot intersect with the west edge

then

east edge and west edge must be parallel

so

The east edge could be

5x-y=50

because

y=5x-50 ----> the slope of this line is m=5
