To find the equation of a line that is parallel to your original equation and goes through a certain point on a graph, here's what you need to know:
First you need to find the slope of your original equation.
To do that, you need to convert it to slope intercept form (y = mx+b).
Add the x over, and then divide everything by 5 to get the y by itself.
Here's what that would look like (without the small steps that I mentioned):
-x + 5y = 25
5y = x + 25
y = 1/5x + 5
That's the original equation rewritten in slope intercept form.
The m represents the slope, so this equation's slope is 1/5.
Because you are given a point, and now you have a slope, the best and easiest route is using point slope form.
I've seen different versions of the equation base but I prefer y - y(sub1) = m(x - x(sub1))
But since I can't use subscripts in this, I'll use the one with h and k. The h is the x value of the point, and the k is the y value.
(h,k)
Then just substitute the values in and solve for y.
y - k = m(x - h)
y + 5 = 1/5(x + 5)
y + 5 = 1/5x + 1
y = 1/5x - 4
Your final answer is
y = 1/5x - 4
You can double check by using a graph. If the slopes are the same, the lines should be parallel.
I hope that helps. If anything didn't make sense, feel free to ask me.

Answer:
-3 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the argument where the variable is and do the arithmetic.
f(-1/4) = 2(-1/4) -3 = -1/2 -3
f(-1/4) = -(3 1/2)
The rate of change is simply the derivative of a function with respect to the other variable. In this case the rate of change with respect to x is desired. Therefore
f(x) = x^3 - 3x^2
f'(x) = 3x^2 - 6x
therefore the rate of change of y with respect to x is dy/dx = 3x^2 - 6x
Two equations will not have solution if they are parallel and have different y-intercepts. Parallel lines have the same slope. In a slope-intercept form, the equation of the line can be expressed as,
y = mx + b
where m is slope and b is the y-intercept.
Given: 3x - 4y = 2
Slope-intercept: y = 3x/4 - 1/2
A. 2y = 1.5x - 2
Slope-intercept: y = 3x/4 - 1
B. 2y = 1.5x - 1
Slope-intercept: y = 3x/4 - 1/2
C. 3x + 4y = 2
Slope-intercept: y = -3x/4 + 1/2
D. -4y + 3x = -2
Slope-intercept: y = 3x/4 + 1/2
Hence, the answers to this item are A and D.
33/7 is an improper fraction.
To make it a mixed fraction, do this:-
How many times does 7 go into 33?
About 4 times.
4*7 = 28
4 is our whole number.
Now, subtract to get the numerator.
33-28 = 5
4 5/7
Final answer: 4 5/7
