Answer:
y=-5x+12 or
5x+y=12

Explanation:

The given equation of a line:
10x+2y=-2

Rewrite equation of line in slope intercept form (y=mx+c) by subtracting 10 on both sides and then divide both sides by 2, we get


y=-5x-1

Slope of line : m= -5 [Coefficient of x]

Since , the slope of two parallel lines are equal.

Then, slope of line parallel to given line= -5

Equation of a line passing through point (a,b) and has slope p is given by :-


(y-b)=p(x-a)

Similarly, Equation of a line passing through point (0,12) and has slope -5 is given by :-


(y-12)=(-5)(x-0)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-12=-5x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 5x+y=12

Answer:

y = -5x + 12

Explanation:

10x + 2y = −2

-10x - 10x

_______________

2y = -10x - 2

__ ________

2 2

y = -5x - 1, [0, 12]

12 = -5[0] + b

0

12 = b

y = -5x + 12

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
