Answer: 2x + 5y = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Two lines are said to be parallel if they have the same slope.
The equation of the line given :
2x + 5y = 10
To find the slope , we will write it in the form y = mx + c , where m is the slope and c is the y - intercept.
2x + 5y = 10
5y = -2x + 10
y = -2/5x + 10/5
y = -2/5x + 2
This means that the slope is -2/5 ,the line that is parallel to this line will also have a slope of -2/5.
using the formula:
= m (
) to find the equation of the line , we have
y - 1 = -2/5(x -{-5})
y - 1 = -2/5 ( x + 5 )
5y - 5 = -2 ( x + 5 )
5y - 5 = -2x - 10
5y + 2x = -10 + 5
therefore :
2x + 5y = -5 is the equation of the line that is parallel to 2x + 5y = 10
