HELP ASAP!!!!!!

A given line has the equation 10x+2y=-2.
What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is parallel to the givereline and passes through the
12)
5x+12
5*
1250x-0)

Answer 1

A. y = -5x + 12.

Explanation:

10x + 2y = -2

2y = -10x - 2

y = -5x - 1

If there is a line parallel to the one listed above, the slope of the second line will be the same as the first.

That means that the line would have a slope of -5.

Since the question asks us to leave the answer in slope-intercept form, we will find an answer that has a slope of -5 in the form of y = mx + b.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

y = -5x + 12

Explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Step 1: Write given line in slope-intercept form

2y = -2 - 10x

y = -1 - 5x

A parallel line has the same slope but different y-intercept. Therefore, our answer is the 1st Option.
