Question

find an equation in slope intercept form for the line through (2,-3) and parallel to the line 2x+5y=3

Answer 1

keeping in mind that parallel lines have the same exact slope, then hmmmm what is the slope of 2x+5y = 3 anyway?

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -2/5 and runs through 2, -3,
