Write an equation of a line that is parallel to the line
y = X - 5 and goes through (1, -2).

y = x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation if the line be y = mx + c

since the line is parallel to y = x - 5, their gradients/slope will be the same (aka m = 1)

sub (1, -2):

-2 = 1 + c

c = -3

therefore, equation if the line is y = x - 3
