Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (−5,−1) and is parallel to the line 4x+5y=45?

Answer 1

This gives you, 4x + 5y = -25 as your final answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

y = -4/5x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 5y = 45

we need to write it in slope intercept form, so:

5y = -4x + 45

y = -4/5x + 45/5

y = -4/5x + 9

The line is parallel so the slope will be -4/5x, point ( -5 -1 )

y = mx + b

-1 = -4/5(-5)+b

-1 = 4 + b

-1 - 4 = b

-5 = b

y = -4/5x - 5
