Question 214836: Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line satisfying the given conditions:
Through (-2,-2); parallel to -x+2y=10

Through (-2,-2); parallel to -x+2y=10
-X+2Y=10
-2Y=X+10
Y=X/-2+10/-2
Y=-X/2-5 THIS LINE HAS A SLOPE=-1/2.
ANY PARALLEL LINE WILL ALSO HAVE A SLOPE=-1/2.
-2=-1/2*-2+b
-2=1+b
b=-2-1
b=-3 the y intercept.
y=-x/2-3 is this line's equation.
