1. **State the problem:** We need to find the equation of line K which is parallel to the line $y=\frac{2}{5}x - 10$ and passes through the point $(15, 20)$.
2. **Recall the formula:** The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is $y = mx + c$, where $m$ is the slope and $c$ is the y-intercept.
3. **Important rule:** Parallel lines have the same slope. Since line K is parallel to $y=\frac{2}{5}x - 10$, it has slope $m = \frac{2}{5}$.
4. **Use the point-slope form:** To find $c$, substitute the point $(x_1, y_1) = (15, 20)$ and slope $m=\frac{2}{5}$ into $y = mx + c$:
$$20 = \frac{2}{5} \times 15 + c$$
5. **Calculate:**
$$20 = \frac{2}{5} \times 15 + c = \frac{2}{5} \times 15 + c = 6 + c$$
6. **Solve for $c$:**
$$c = 20 - 6 = 14$$
7. **Write the equation of line K:**
$$y = \frac{2}{5}x + 14$$
**Final answer:** $y = \frac{2}{5}x + 14$
