The equation of the line that passes through (1,2) and is parallel to the line y=-5x+4, is y=-5x+7.
The equation of the line is the way of representation of a line in the equation form.
The equation of the lines represents the line by the set of points on which the line lies or passes through in the coordinate system.
[tex]y=mx+c[/tex]
Here, (m) is the slope of the line and (c) is the y intercept.
This line is parallel to the line which has to be find out is,
[tex]y=-5x+4[/tex]
As the parallel lines have same slope. Thus, the line which is required to find has a slope of -5.
Compare with standard equation of line, we get the slope of the line,
[tex]m=-5[/tex]
Thus, the equation of line become,
[tex]y=-5x+c[/tex]
The line passes through (1,2). Put these values in the above equation as,
[tex]2=-5(1)+c\\2=-5+c\\c=2+5\\c=7[/tex]
Thus, the equation become,
[tex]y=-5x+7[/tex]
Hence, the equation of the line that passes through (1,2) and is parallel to the line y=-5x+4, is y=-5x+7.
