Question

Find the equation of the line parallel to the line 5x +4y=9 and making an intercept -5 on the x-axis.

Answer 1

Answer:

5x+4y+25=0

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of given line is m=-5/4. , equation of line having slope -5/4 and having intersept -5 on x-axis,, y=m(x-a),,a=-5. ,,,y=-5/4(x+5). ,. 4y=-5x-25. ,5x+4y+25=0

Answer 2

Answer:

5x + 4y +25 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

equation of the parallel line

y= -5/4x + c

as it state that line intercept at x = -5

then -5(-5)/4 +c= (0)

c= -25/4

Equation will be y= -5/4x - 25/4

4y = -5x - 25 => 5x + 4y +25 = 0
