Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 5x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find a equation parallel to the line given, you need to know the slope of the line given. Remember that parallel lines have the same slope.

5x - y = 4 and solving for y:

-y = -5x + 4 and solving for positive y:

y = 5x - 4

So the slope of that line is 5. We will use that along with the coordinate given to us to write the equation first in point-slope form then in slope-intercept:

y - (-2) = 5(x - (-2)) and

y + 2 = 5(x + 2) and

y + 2 = 5x + 10 so

y = 5x + 8
