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

9514 1404 393

Answer:

2x +5y = -15

Explanation:

The parallel line will have the same x- and y-coefficients, but a constant that makes the equation true for the given point.

2(-10) +5(1) = -15 . . . . . . . . use the point values with the coefficients

Then the equation is ...

2x +5y = -15
