A given line has the equation 10x + 2y = −2.

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (0, 12)? (fill in the blank)

y = (____ )x + 12

Firstly, let's convert 10x + 2y = -2 to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):

10x + 2y = -2
2y = -10x - 2
y = -5x - 2/5

The slope is -5. Parallel lines have the same slope; the question provides the y-int (12), so our equation is:

y = -5x + 12

Hope this helps.
I think is
y = ( ______)x + 12

y = -5x + 12
