Solve using substitution or elimination.

y = x + 1
2x - 5y = 4

Substitute y = x + 1 into 2x - 5y = 4

-3x - 5 = 4

Solve for x in -3x - 5 = 4

x = -3

Substitute x = -3 into y = x + 1

y = -2

Therefore,

x = -3

y = -2

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
