write the equation of a line that is parallel to 2x+7y=5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok first turn into y = mx+b

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

ok

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

y=2x+5?

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

7y=2x+5??

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

hm

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

it's different than what my teacher's showed

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

ok good

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

so that would be? 7/2?

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

7/-2?

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

not sure now

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH NOOOO OK FORGET EVERY THING I SAID!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok all you have to do is change the y intercept of the y=mx+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was thinking perpendicular lines not parallel

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

yeahhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it can be any value as long as the slope stays the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so ex.

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

so would 7y=2x+5 work or is that just wrong altogether?
