write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line passing through the point(-5,-2) and parallel to the line y=2x-2

Point- Slope form is
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
m = slope, (x1, y1) = point
Slope intercept form is y = mx + b
m = slope, b = y-intercept
In order for two lines to be parallel, they must have the same slope, so in this case our slope, m = 2. Now use point-slope form to insert the point and solve.
y--2 = 2 (x --5)
y + 2 = 2x + 10
y = 2x + 8

Dy/dx = y/x , y(1) = −2

s2008m [1.1K]

Start with

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{y}{x}$

Separate the variables:

$\dfrac{dy}{y} = \dfrac{dx}{x}$

Integrate both parts:

$\displaystyle \int \dfrac{dy}{y} = \int\dfrac{dx}{x}$

Which implies

$\log(y) = \log(x)+c$

Solving for y:

$y = e^{\log(x)+c} = e^{\log(x)}e^c=xe^c$

Since $e^c$ is itself a constant, let's rename it $c_1$ .

Fix the additive constant imposing the condition:

$y(1) = c_1\cdot 1 = -2\iff c_1=-2$

So, the solution is

$y(x) = -2x$
