Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-2,-4) and isparallel to the line 5x-2y = 6?

Answer 1

y = mx + b

Is parallel to line 5x - 2y = 6

Slope m= ?

write

5x - 6= 2y

(5/2)x - (6/2)= y

2.5x - 3 = y

Then Slope m= 2.5

equation is y= 2.5x + b

Now, find b

b= y - 2.5x

Replace point (-
