Question

Write the equation 5x=2y+10 in the slope-intercept form and find the slope of a line parallel to it.

Answer 1

slope intercept form: y=-5/2x+5

the slope of a parallel line would have m=-5/2

Explanation:

to get in slope intercept form, you solve for y and get it alone. first you subtract 5x from both sides to get y alone. then you simplify by dividing by 2.

Parallel lines have the same slope
