Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form that is parallel to y – 5x = 10 and passes through the point (2, -4).
I think I got it but I'm not sure

Answer 1

first write the equation as y =mx + b , to find the slope which is m
then you have
y = 5x + 10

Answer 2

Now you know the slope is 5, to be parallel it need to have the same slope
so now substitute the x for 2 and y for -4, to find the value of b and do the equation

Answer 3

so you have
-4 = 5(2) + b
find b

Answer 4

b=-14

Answer 5

Answer 6

right so now you have teh b = -14 and m = 5
so the equation would be y = 5x -14

Answer 7

awesome thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
