Question

Please let me know if what I did is correct:

Write an equation of the line parallel to 2y+ 5x -2 = 0 and passes through (-1,2)

Answer 1

First!
Write the original equation in slope-intercept form
(y=mx+b).

Answer 2

can u do that?

Answer 3

My answer is: \[y = -\frac{ 5 }{ 2 } x - 5\]

Answer 4

I posted the answer to the entire question. Hopefully I'm correct.

Answer 5

how did u got this?

Answer 6

Im going to post what I did: 1m.

Answer 7

the answer supposed to be y=-5/2-1/2

Answer 8

What did I do wrong then?

Answer 9

u were supposed to do the point slope formula
by putting (x1,y1) or (1,2) into the equation y-y1=m(x-x1).

Answer 10

the slope of parallel lines are the same (m1=m2). So, use-5/2 for your slope (m)
