Point- Slope form is y - y1 = m (x - x1) m = slope, (x1, y1) = point Slope intercept form is y = mx + b m = slope, b = y-intercept In order for two lines to be parallel, they must have the same slope, so in this case our slope, m = 2. Now use point-slope form to insert the point and solve. y--2 = 2 (x --5) y + 2 = 2x + 10 y = 2x + 8
