Question

Write the equation of the line, in standard form, that has a y-intercept of 2 and is parallel to 2 x + y = -5. Include your work in your final answer. Type your answer in the box provided or use the upload option to submit your solution.

Answer 1

Explanation:

rearrange 2x+y=-5 to make y the subject

y=-5-2x

since the line is parallel it has the same gradient so

y=-2x+c

the y-intercept, c, is 2 so

y=-2x+2
