Question 204055: How do you find the equation to a line parallel to 2x-5y=20?
Answer by RAY100(1637) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Remember that y=mx+b is slope intercept form, and parallel lines have same slope
.
2x -5y =20
.
-5y =20 -2x
.
y=(2/5)x -4
.
all parallel lines have same slope,,(2/5) just different y intercepts,,(-4)
.
so a parallel line could be y=(2/5)x -3,,or y=(2/5)x -2,,or y=(2/5)x +4
.
usually some other limit would apply to define the exact line.
.
PLEASE NOTE
.
y=(2/5)x-3 = (5y =2x -15) = (2x -5y = 15),,,which is the same as original
.
except for the constant. Therefore, 2x-5y = #,,,is generalized answer
