Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,7) and is parallel

to the line x + 5y = 10?

Answer 1

This exact question has already been answered on the site, but here it is again.

Answer 2

Answer y=-1/5x+6

Explanation:

Rewrite in slop intercept form y=mx+b

5y=10-x

y=2-(x/5)

y=-1/5x+2

Slope = -1/5

Substitute the 2 numbers in the point and solve

y-7=-1/5(x+5)

y=-1/5x+6
