Write the equation of the line that satisfies the given conditions, Express the final equation in standard form. Contains the point (2,5) and is parallel to the line x-2y=-5.
--------------------------
The given equation can be written 2y=x+5; y = (1/2)x+(5/2)
It's slope is 1/2
----------------------
So any line parallel to it has slope = 1/2
If the line also passes thru (2,5), 5 = (1/2)2+b; b=4
Therefore the equation you want is y = (1/2)x+4
