Answer:

y = 3x - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope.

The slope of the given line, y = 3x - 2 is 3.

The equation we are looking for is of the form

y = mx + b

Since we know the slope, m, is 3, we have

y = 3x + b

To find the value of b, we substitute x and y with the values from the given point and solve for b.

-2 = 3(5) + b

b = -17

The equation is

y = 3x - 17
