With any equation you are allowed to take the logarithm of both sides so
5^c=125 now take the logarithm base 5 to both sides giving.
log5(5^c)=log5(125), using the rule log(a^b)=a*log(b) you get
c log5(5)=log5(125), since log5(5)=1
c=log5(125)
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer: parallel lines have the same slope as the original so the slope would still be -x
