So, parallel lines have the same slope, therefore a parallel line to 2x+12, will have the same slope as that one, so which is it? 
so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 2, and runs through -1,1.

<h2>Answer:</h2>
In this problem we know the equation of a line, which is:
We also can write this equation as:
The slope of this line is which is the slope of the line we are looking for because they're parallel. We also have a point
. Therefore, we can write this equation as follows:
From the figures below, the line in red is while the line in blue is
and this line passes through the point (-5, -3)!
