Given data:
The given point is (a,b)=(-5,1).
The given line is 2y=2x-4.
The given line can be written as,
2y=2(x-2)
y=x-2
The standard equation of the line is,
y=mx+c
comapre the given line with the standard form.
m=1
The slope of two parallel lines are always equal.
m'=m
=1
The expression of the line which is parallel to the given line is,
y-b=m'(x-a)
Substitue the given values in the expression.
y-1=1(x-(-5))
y-1=x+5
y=x+6.
Thus, the equation of the line parallel to the given line is y=x+6.
