Question

A given line has the equation 10x + 2y = −2.

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (0, 12)?

y = (
)x + 12

Answer 1

Y = -5x +12

Explanation:

Answer 2

y = - 5 x + 6

Explanation:

to be parallel it will have the same slope and you solve for b by making a new equation

y = - 5 x + b

and plugging in the x and y values from your coordinate point in for x and y

you then solve for b which will be 6 and you form the equation
