given:
2x + y = 5
y = -2x + 5
---
parallel lines have equal slopes, so slope = -2
and contains the given point (6,-2)
---
to solve the linear equation, copy and paste this (the given point and slope):
6,-2,-2
into the "Point-Slope form: x1 y1 m" input box here: https://sooeet.com/math/linear-equation-solver.php
---
answer:
x-intercept = (5, 0)
y-intercept = (0, 10)
slope = -2
---
answer:
y-intercept of f(x) = (0, 10)
