Question

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to the line 2x + 5y = 10 and passes through the point (–5, 1)? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

hello :
calculate the slope :
2x + 5y = 10
5y = -2x +10
y = (-2/5)x +2
the slope is (-2/5)... ( parallel so : same slope )
an equation is : y - (-5) = (-2/5)(x-1)

Answer 2

y = −(2/5)x − 1

2x + 5y = −5

y − 1= −(2/5)(x + 5)
