Question

Write the slope-intercept equation of the line parallel to 5y = 2x + 20 that goes through (-1, 3)

Answer 1

`y = (2)/(5)x + 3(2)/(5)`

Explanation:

This line was never finished, so you finish it like this:

`(5y)/(5) = (2x + 20)/(5) → y = (2)/(5)x + 4`

3 = −⅖ + b

`3(2)/(5) = b \\ \\ y = (2)/(5)x + 3(2)/(5)`

Parallel Lines have SIMILAR RATE OF CHANGES [SLOPES], so ⅖ remains the way it is.
