Answer: m = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Turn the equation into slope-intercept form: 
Reduce: 
Your parallel slope is: 
M = (22 - 7)/(8 - 5) = 15/3 = 5
<span>using point (5, 7) </span>
<span>y - 7 = 5(x - 5) in point-slope form </span>
<span>y - 7 = 5x - 25 </span>
<span>y = 5x - 18 in slope-intercept form.</span>
