Question

Given the line 5x – 2y = 10, Find the equation of a parallel line that passes through the point (2, 3). Find the x- and y-intercepts of both lines. Plot the intercepts and use them to graph both lines on the same set of axes.

Answer 1

1) subtract 5x from both sides
2) you will be left with 2y= -5x +10
3) then you divide 2 from the three numbers
4) you will be left with y=-5/2x +5
your slope is -5/2x
and your y-intercept is 5
which means your point starts at (0,5) on the graph
