'Write an equation for the line that passes through (-5, -7) and is parallel to the line -5x+2y=27" ?How do I do it? Please someone walk me through this!

Question

amistre64 · Answer

parallel lines have the exact same equation except for the last part; so chop it off and reslove

amistre64 · Answer

-5x + 2y = 27

-5x + 2y = N ; fill in the point and solve for N,

amistre64 · Answer

-5(-5) + 2(-7) = N

25 - 14 = N

  11 = N
..................

parallel equation is:

-5x + 2y = 11
