Complete Question: What is the equation of line that is parallel to the line [tex]y=\frac{1}{5}+4[/tex] and passes through [tex](-2,2).[/tex]

[tex]Let\ the\ equation\ of\ line\ is\ y=mx+c\\\\Since\ it\ is\ parallel\ to\ the\ line\ y=\frac{1}{5}x+4,\ the\ slope\ of\ both\ the\ lines\ will\ be\ same.\\\\Slope\ of\ y=\frac{1}{5}x+4\ is=\frac{1}{5}\\\\m=\frac{1}{5}\\\\Equation: y=\frac{1}{5}x+c\\\\It\ passes\ through\ (-2,2),\ This\ point\ will\ satisfy\ the\ equation.\\\\2=\frac{1}{5}\times (-2)+c\\\\c=2+\frac{2}{5}\\\\c=\frac{12}{5}\\\\The\ Equation\ is: y=\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{12}{5}[/tex]
