Answer:

Explanation:

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

to the line x - 5y = 15?

We have two values, x and y, from our ordered pair.

Plugging those in we have -5 - 35y = 15

Add 5 to both sides: -35y = 20

Divide both sides by 35 : approx. 0.57

Our slope is 0.57
