Write the equation of the line parallel to the line 4x + 2y = 5 and passing through the point (-3,5).

Question

anonymous · Answer

first solve for y

and you will get something in y=mx+b form

the m will be the same in both your equations.

ledah · Answer

y = -4x + 20 like this? this is what i got

anonymous · Answer

y = -2*x+5/2
y=   m  x+  b
so your m will be  -2

so now plug in your values for the point you want (-3,5)

5=-2*-3+b

sfb    -1

so your equation is

y=-2x+(-1)

anonymous · Answer

nope it is not  y=-4....

ledah · Answer

oh. oops fail lol

anonymous · Answer

4x + 2y = 5
2y=5-4x           subtract 4x
y=-2x+5/2        rearange and subtract 2 from both sides
