Write the equation of the line, in standard form, that has a y-intercept of 2 and is parallel to 2x + y = -5.


Hint:
All parallel lines have the same slope.


So you got the slope and have the point, then you would use this:

fran345 · Answer

the slope is -5?

3mar · Answer

For the 1st, the slope would be m=-2

3mar · Answer

2x + y = -5
y=-2x-5

m=-2
m is the coefficient of x.

fran345 · Answer

I still don't know how you got -2. I know how to do it if I had the points with it's coordinates.

The slope-intercept form of a line is
|dw:1478643784361:dw|
