Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through (1,2) and is parallel to the line y=−5x+4.

Answer 1

Answer:

y=-5x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

if the line is parallel then the slope must be the same so you have the slope now you must use the point slope form which is y-y1=m(x-x1) m standing for the slope which is -5, y1 standing for 2, x1 standing for 1. Now plug it into the equation. y-2=-5(x-1) now solve.
