Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 5x is the reference line (as best as I can interpret " y = 5* - .").
We want a line, y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, that is parallel to y=5x.
Parallel lines will have the same slope as the reference line, in this case m=5. Our new line will take the form of y=5x+b. An important difference is that the new line must go through (2,6). We need to find a value of b that will make that work.
Use y=5x + b with point (2,6) and solve for b:
6 = 5*(2) + b
b = -4
The line that is parallel to y=5x and goes through the point (2,6) is thus:
y = 5x - 4
