Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Rearrange x + 5y = 10 into this form
Subtract x from both sides
5y = - x + 10 ( divide all terms by 5 )
y = - x +2 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = -
• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line
To find c substitute (1, 3) into the partial equation
3 = - + c ⇒ c =
y = - x +
← equation of parallel line
