Question

Write an equation of the line passing through the point (-10,3) that is parallel to the line 5x+2y=12

Answer 1

y= (-5/2)x - 22

because 5x+2y=12 turns to y=(-5/2)x + 6 and the line parallel to it has to have the same slope so you have to just get the y intercept by plugging in -10 into the equation (-5/2)(-10)+?=3 and ?= -22.
