Answer:

Option A. [tex]y=5x+29[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of the line parallel to the given line

we have

[tex]y=5x+2[/tex]

The slope of the given line is

[tex]m=5[/tex]

Remember that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal

therefore

The slope of the line parallel to the given line is also  [tex]m=5[/tex]

step 2

Find the equation of the line parallel to the given line in slope intercept form

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

we have

[tex]m=5[/tex]

[tex]point\ (-6,-1)[/tex]

substitute and solve for b

[tex]-1=5(-6)+b[/tex]

[tex]-1=-30+b\\b=30-1\\b=29[/tex]

substitute

[tex]y=5x+29[/tex]
