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)?

Answer 1

The correct answer should be y=-5x+12; Enable to find this we must put "10x+2y=-2" into slope intercept form (by subtracting 10x on both sides and then dividing both sides by 2y) we then come to the result of y=-5x-1. With this information we have the slope (-5x) and we can place it into our equation by plugging in the given y-intercept

Answer 2

Y =-5x + 12
