Question

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

Answer 1

y=-5x+7

Explanation:

Answer 2

y = = -5x + 7

Explanation:

y=−5x+4, slope = -5

Parallel lines, slopes are the same so slope of new line is also equal -5

Equation in point slope form:

y - 2 = -5(x - 1)

y - 2 = -5x + 5

y = = -5x + 7 <--------equation in slope intercept form
