Question

Write the equation of equation of the line parallel to 5x - 2y = 10 that goes through the point (-3, 6).

Answer 1

Answer:

y=5/2x+13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-2y=10

-2y=-5x+10

y= 5/2x-5

y-6=5/2(x+3)

y-6=5/2x+ 7.5

y=5/2x+13.5

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you must isolate y in the given equation

5x - 2y = 10                   Subtract 5x from both sides

-2y = -5x + 10                Divide both sides by - 2

y = -5/-2 x + 10 / -2          

y = 2.5 x - 5                The new equation has a slope of 2.5

x = - 2

y = 6

y = 2.5x + b

6 = 2.5*-2 + b

6 = -5 +   b                  Add 5 to both sides

6+ 5 = b

b = 11

Answer: y = 2.5x + 11
