Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 2x + 5y = 15 and passes through the

point (-10, 1)

Answer 1

y = - 2/5x + 7/5

Explanation:

5y = -2x + 15

y = - 2/5x + 15/5

y = - 2/5x + 3

Slope: - 2/5

b = 1 - (- 2/5) (1)

b = 1 + 2/5 = (1*5+2)/5

b = 7/5

y = - 2/5x + 7/5
