The engineers designing the All Aboard Railroad between Boca Raton and Jupiter decide to create parallel tracks through this portion of the railway. To illustrate their plans to the county commission, they use a coordinate plane. The southbound track will have an equation of 2x + 5y = 15. What is the equation of the parallel northbound track that runs through the point (4, - 2)?

2x + 5y = 2
2x 5y = 18
5x + 2y = 16
5x 2y = 24
