Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line parallel to y = 5x - 2 that passes through the point (8, -2)
Answered by Steve
5x-2 passes through (8,38)

So, you need to subtract 40 so it goes through (8,-2)
Answered by Reiny
or
a line parallel to y = 5x - 2 is
y = 5x + b , but (8,-2) lies on it
-2 = 40 + b
b = -42

y = 5x - 42
