Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through (1,2) and is parallel to the line y = -5x+4

Answer 1

Answer:

y =-5x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -5x + 4

Slope = -5

Parallel lines have same slope

Slope of the parallel line to this line = -5

(1 , 2)

y -y1 =m(x - x1)

y - 2 = -5(x - 1)

y -2 = -5x + 5

   y = -5x + 5 + 2

  y = -5x + 7
