Find the equation of a line that passes through (2,-3), and that is parallel to 5x + y = -2.

O y=-5x + 7
O y = 5x - 13
O y = 5x - 3
O y = -5x - 3

Answer:

O y = -5x + 7

Explanation:

$5x + y = -2 \\y = -5x - 2$

the slope of this line is -5 so the slope of a parallel line will also have to be -5

put it in point slope form:

y - - 3 = -5(x - 2)

y + 3 = -5x + 10

y = -5x + 7
