we know that
if two lines are parallel
then
their slopes are equal
Step 1
Find the slope of the line 2x + 5y = 4
2x + 5y = 4------> 5y=4-2x-----> y=(4/5)-(2/5)x------> slope m=(-2/5)
step 2
with m=-2/5 and the point (5, –4) find the equation of the line
y-y1=m*(x-x1)------> y+4=(-2/5)*(x-5)----> y=(-2/5)x+2-4
y=(-2/5)x-2
therefore
the answer is the option D
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to combine like terms, you have to isolate x and y from one side of the equation.

<u>First, thing you do is remove parentheses.</u>

<u>Solve.</u>
<u>Then, you combine like terms.</u>

<u>Add/subtract the numbers from left to right.</u>
-8z+3.5z=-4.5z
<u>Rewrite the problem down.</u>

<u>Solve.</u>
4.5-1.5=3

- <u>Therefore, the correct answer is 7y+3-4.5z.</u>
I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.
