Equations of parallel lines in standard form Ax+By=C only need differ by the constant C. Thus the line through (1,0) parallel to the line with equation 4x + 10y = 20 can have an equation with the same left side, 4x + 10. All we need do is substitute (1,0) in the left side 4(1) + 10(0) = 4 + 0 = 4 to find the constant. So one answer could be 4x + 10y = 4 However since that can be divided through by 2, we should do so and get 2x + 5y = 2 <--answer Edwin
