Question

Please help. find an equation for a line parallel to the line 5x-y=-10

Answer 1

Well first put it into the form
y=mx+b
So subtract 5x on both sides.
-y=-5x-10
Divide by -1 and you get
y=5x+10
Now that we know that... We know that parallels have the same slope and in our case that's 5.

Answer 2

im sorry i forgot to put the point (0,0)this is where im confused

Answer 3

Okay well your slope is still 5!
All we have to do is solve for b by putting (0,0) into the equation I wrote, but instead of 10 we will put b
y=5x+b
Now let's plug in (0,0)
0=5(0)+b
0=0+b
So b equals 0
So if we write the parallel equation we get
y=5x

ok thank you thats what i got but i thought i was wrong ;)

Answer 5

Well nope you were right!
