Question

Need answer for this.

Answer 1

y=5/2x+5

Explanation:

Since both lines are parallel they have the same slope. From y=5/2x+1, the slope is 5/2

The equation of the line passing through (-2,0) using slope intercept form is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-0=5/2(x--2)

y=5/2(x+2)

y=5/2x+5

Answer 2

The equation of the line is y = (5/2)x + 5.

Explanation:

When both line are parallel, they share the same gradient value so the equation will be y = (5/2)x + b. Next, you have to find the value of b, by substituting the coordinates into the equation :

y = (5/2)x + b

let x = -2, y = 0,

0 = (5/2)(-2) + b

0 = -5 + b

b = 5
