Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (−2,−2) and is parallel to the line 5x−y=4?

Answer 1

Answer: y=5x+8

Explanation:

first you solve for y:
5x - y = 4
-5x -5x
↓

`(-y)/(-1)` =
`(-5x+4)/(-1)`
↓

y = 5x - 4

slope of given line: 5
slope of a parallel line: 5

plug in slope:
y = 5x + b

find b, which is 8 :)

plug it in!

y = 5x + 8

Answer 2

It is -5
