Question

A given line has the equation 10x + 2y = −2.

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (0, 12)?

y = (______)x + 12

Answer 1

Parallel means same slope.
10x + 2y = -2
2y = -10x - 2
y = -5x - 1

Slope = -5

y = -5x + 12
