Question

'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!

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

-5x + 2y = 27

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

Answer 3

-5(-5) + 2(-7) = N

25 - 14 = N

11 = N
..................

parallel equation is:

-5x + 2y = 11

Answer 4

Oh my goodnees! Thank you soo much!

Answer 5

these parallel lines have the exact same basic equation; but differ only by a constant
