Answer:

[tex]\large\boxed{y=5x-9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

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

Parallel lines have the same slope. Therefore if given line is

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

then the slope of our line is [tex]m=5[/tex].

We have the equation:

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

The line passes through (2, 1). Put the coordinsted pf the point to the equation:

[tex]1=5(2)+b[/tex]

[tex]1=10+b[/tex]           subtract 10 from both sides

[tex]-9=b\to b=-9[/tex]

Finally:

[tex]y=5x-9[/tex]
