Question

Line Q is parallel to the line represented by the equation 5x-4y=10 line Q passes thrpugh the point (12,-7)

Answer 1

Answer: y = (5/4)x - 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines always have the same slope. That means if you rework this equation into y=mx+b form it will be easier to see the slope.

-4y = -5x + 10

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

Based on this we know the slope has to be (5/4)

Then, with the given point values we can solve for b

-7 = (5/4)(12) + b

-7 = 15 + b

b = -22

so the equation for line Q is y = (5/4)x -22
