Question

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (5, −4) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 2x + 5y = 10?

Enter your answer in the box

Answer 1

Answer:

2x + 5y = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

The x- and y-coefficients will be the same for a parallel line. The constant must be chosen to make the line go through the point.

... 2x + 5y = 2(5) +5(-4) = 10 -20 = -10

Your equation is

... 2x + 5y = -10

Answer 2

Answer:

y= - $\frac{2}{5}$x - 2
