Question

A given line has the equation 10x -2.2y What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is parallel to given line passes through the point (0, 12)?the and )x 12submitted

Answer 1

10x + 2y = -2

2y = -10x - 2

y = -(10/2)x - 2/2

y = -5x  - 1    y = mx + c,   slope m = -5.

If it is parallel, then the slope of the second line ought to be -5 as well.

So you should fill -5 in the bracket.
