Exercise 9 Page 167

If we write the desired equation in slope-intercept form, $y=mx+b,$ we can add this slope. To determine the value of $b,$ we can use the fact that our line must pass through $(\text{-}5,2).$ Let's substitute $x=\text{-}5$ and $y=2$ into the equation and solve for $b.$ Now that we have the $y\text{-}$intercept, we can conclude the line parallel to $y=2x-3$ that passes through $(\text{-}5,2).$
