Since it is parallel, the slopes are equal.

The equation of required line is:

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

where, $c$ is some constant we have to determine using additional conditions.

The condition is that the line passes through $(-2,4)$

Put (-2,4) in our equation.

$5(-2)+2(4)=c=(-10)+8=-2$

Hence, $c=-2$

The final equation is: $\boxed{5x+2y=-2}$

Convert this to the form in the options.

Answer is y=-5/2 x-1
