A line passes through the point (-2,-9) and is parallel to 5x - y = 7. What is the equation of the line?

Answer:
y = 5x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - y = 7
y = 5x - 7
Gradient = 5
Gradient of the line passing through point (-2,-9)
= 5
i.e it is parallel to line 5x - y = 7
Equation of the line is given as:
y - (-9) = 5(x - (-2))
y + 9 = 5x +10
y = 5x + 1
