Question

Passes through (5, -1) and is parallel to the line 2x + 5y = 15
then the equation of line? ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes are the same for parallel lines in the plane. Keeping in the given standard form, The equation you want to find is 2x-5y+c=0. Solve for c and then substitute the given point needed to be on the line.

c=-2x%2B5y

c=-2%28-9%29%2B5%2A3

c=18%2B15

c=33

The line then in standard form is highlight%28-2x%2B5y%2B33=0%29.

POINT-SLOPE FORM:

You will be able to read the slope directly from the "general" form or from the standard form; and then use the formula for slope (which is vertical change divided by horizontal change) to obtain the point-slope form.

You will see that slope m=2%2F5. Doing the steps, you will find highlight%28y-3=%282%2F5%29%28x%2B9%29%29.
