Question

Write the equation of the line parallel to 5x + y = -2 that goes through the point (2, -3).​

Answer 1

y = -5x + 7

Explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Step 1: Define

5x + y = -2

Random point (2, -3)

Step 2: Rewrite

y = -5x - 2

m = -5

Step 3: Write parallel line

y = -5x + b

-3 = -5(2) + b

-3 = -10 + b

7 = b

y = -5x + 7
