Question

Write an equation that is parallel to y=-5/2x-5

Answer 1

       A parallel equation (when graphed) will have the same slope, but a different y-intercept.

       As long as you keep y = -$\frac{5}{2}$x + b, you can input anything for b to solve this question.

       Given:

y = -$\frac{5}{2}$x - 5

       Equation of a parallel line:

y = -$\frac{5}{2}$x + 6, y = -$\frac{5}{2}$x + 1,356, y = -$\frac{5}{2}$x - 8, etc

     Example answer you can use:

             y = -$\frac{5}{2}$x - 8
