Question

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (12, −2)?

A)y=-6/5x+10
B)y=-6/5x+12
C)y=-5/6x-10
D)y=5/6x-12

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

first find slope of line - change in y over change in x

6+4 divided by 12 -0 = 10/12 = 5/6

y + 2 = 5/6 (x -12)

y + 2 = 5/6x - 60/6

y = 5/6x - 10 -2

y = 5/6x - 12
