What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 5x + 2y = 12 and passes through the point (-2, 4)?
1 answer:
Since it is parallel, the slopes are equal.
The equation of required line is:
where, $c$ is some constant we have to determine using additional conditions.
The condition is that the line passes through $(-2,4)$
Put (-2,4) in our equation.
$5(-2)+2(4)=c=(-10)+8=-2$
Hence, $c=-2$
The final equation is: $\boxed{5x+2y=-2}$
Convert this to the form in the options.
Answer is y=-5/2 x-1

Answer:
There's no answer choices but I can give you an example.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Let's say you have
.
- Think about what the closest whole number 25/4 will give you. Since 24 and 25 are close you can do 24/4 and get 6.
- Now since you took one number away from the 25 you have a remainder.
- Since the denominator is 4 your final answer would be 6
