Refer to the attachment from Mathematica version 9.

dayakar · Answer

equation of the line parallel  to ax+by+c1=0 is 
ax+by+ c2=0 (parallel lines varies only constant term means here c1 and k)
for finding k we have a point  (-10,3)

dayakar · Answer

equation of the line parallel to 5x+2y=12 is
5x+2y=k--------(1)
which passes through (-10,3) 
substitute this point in (1)
5*(-10) +2*3=k
-50+6=k
-44=k
therefore 
required equation is
5x+2y=-44
