Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
y = 3x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Given
3x - y + 12 = 0 ( subtract 3x + 12 from both sides )
- y = - 3x - 12 ( multiply through by - 1 )
y = 3x + 12 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 3
Parallel lines have equal slopes , thus
y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (2, 5) into the partial equation
5 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 5 - 6 = - 1
y = 3x - 1 ← equation of parallel line
Example:

This suggests two solutions,

and

.
However, upon plugging these solutions back into the equation, you get

which checks out, but

does not because

is defined only for

(assuming you're looking for real solutions only). So, we call

an extraneous solution, and the complete solution set (over the real numbers) is

.
