Lines that are parallel have the same slope. The given line is in standard form, x - 10y = -5. To be parallel and pass through the point (5, 7), the new line must have the same 'x' and 'y' coefficients. Substituting (5, 7) into the equation x - 10y = C gives 5 - 10(7) = -65, so the equation is x - 10y = -65.
