Answer:

y = -1/5x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First rearrange x + 5y = 10 into y = mx + b format.

x + 5y = 10

5y = -x +10

y = -1/5x + 2

If a line is parallel to y = -1/5x + 2, it must have the same slope (-1/5).

Plug in for y = mx + b

x (x coordinate) = -5

y (y coordinate) = 7

m (slope) = -1/5

Solve for b.

7 = -5(-1/5) + b

7 = 1 + b

b = 6

y = -1/5x + 6 is parallel.
