Question

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 5x + 2y = 12 and passes through the point (-2, 4)?

Answer 1

Answer:

y=-5/2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

first find the gradient whereas since the two lines are parallel they hav the same gradient. y=mx+c whereas m is the gradient. 5x+2y=12

2y=-5x+12

y=-5/2x+12(so the gradient is -5/2x..... gradient=-5/2

y-4=-5/2

x+2

y-4=-5/2(x+2)

y-4=-5/2x-5

y=-5/2x-5+4

y=-5/2x-1
