Question

Write the equation for a line that passes through the point (-8,2) and is parallel to 5x-4y=4. Enter your equation in slope intercept form with slope written as a fraction​

Answer 1

y = 5/4x + 12

Explanation:

5x - 4y = 4

-4y = -5x + 4

y = (-5x + 4)/-4

y = 5/4x - 1

Parallel Slope ---> m = 5/4

(-8, 2)

y = mx + b

2 = 5/4(-8) + b

2 = 5 * -2 + b

2 = -10 + b

12 = b

b = 12

y = 5/4x + 12 <---- This is the answer

Hope this helps!
