Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through

(1,2) and is parallel to the line
y=−5x+4

Answer 1

the answer is -5x +7

Answer 2

y=-5x+6

Explanation:

For the equation y=-5x+4, the slope is -5 and the slope of the new line will be the same because it is parallel to this line. Use the point-slope form to write the equation, then simplify and convert into the slope intercept form.

(y-2)=-5(x-1)

y-1=-5x+5

y=-5x+6
