If it is parallel to the line y = 5x + 7, the line will have a formula of y = 5x + a

(7) = 5(-5) + a

Find a.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,7) and is parallel to the line y = 5x + 7?

Hello Guest!

$y = 5x + 7\\ m=5\\ y=m(x-x_P)+y_P\\ y=5(x-(-5))+7=5x+25+7$

$y=5x+32$
