Question

Write the equation of the line, in standard form, that has a y-intercept of 2 and is parallel to 2x + y = -5. Include your work in your final answer.

Answer 1

Answer 2

parallel lines share the same slope

the slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b
where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Answer 3

first identify the slope of 2x+y=-5

any ideas?

Answer 4

-5 ?

Answer 5

nope

Answer 6

no wait 2 right ?

Answer 7

closer, but no

Answer 8

-2

Answer 9

ok, what happens when i subtract -2x from both sides?
or move the 2x from the left side to the right side

Answer 10

yes the slope is -2

Answer 11

so using the information m=-2 and y-intercept = 2
what would the equation of the line be in slope-intercept form?

Answer 12

y = -2x - 5

Answer 13

y-intercept is 2

Answer 14

not -5

Answer 15

ohhhh

Answer 16

y = -2x + 2

Answer 17

good,
final step, the question is asking for the equation in standard form (Ax+By=C)

what can you do to turn slope-intercept form into standard form?

Answer 18

add 2x to the right side so its 2x + y = 2

Answer 19

yup

Answer 20

thank youuuuu

Answer 21

no problem
