Question

Write the equation of the line parallel to the line 4x + y = -1 and passing through the point (5,0)

Answer 1

For this problem, use this
4x + y = ?
Plug in the point (5, 0) and solve.
4(5) + 0 = ?
What you get for the question mark, put it where the blank is down here:
4x + y = __

Answer 2

20

Answer 3

Yup. The answer is 4x + y = 20

Answer 4

So then what would you do for a problem like this? Write the equation of the line parallel to the line 10x - 5y = 8 and passing through the point (2,4).

Answer 5

Same thing. If it says PARALLEL and it's in the form Ax + By = C, then do the same thing.
