What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-5, 3) and is
parallel to the line 3x
5y = 30?
Answer:
-

Answer 1

y = -3/5x

Explanation:

3x + 5y = 30

5y = -3x + 30

y = -3/5x + 6

therefore the slope is -3/5, now using the points (-5,3)

y - 3 = -3/5 ( x + 5 )

y - 3 = -3/5x - 3

y = -3/5x
