Question 675799: How do you solve this problem. Write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line parallel to the graph of 2x+y=5 that passes through (0,1)
Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Parallel lines have the same slope.
...
2x+y=5
rearranges in the y=mx+b form as

The slope is -2
...
Using the slope of -2 and the coordinates (0,1)
put them into the point slope formula
y - 1 = -2(x-0)
y - 1 = -2x - 0
