Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope.

The slope-intercept form of an equationo f a line:

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the equation of the line in a standard form.

Convert to the slope-intercept form:

              subtract 5x from both sides

         divide both sides by 2

The slope

Therefore we have:

Substitute the coordinates of the given point (-2, 4):

            subtract 5 from both sides

Finally we have:
