Question 19595
2x-y=12
-y=12-2x
y=2x-12
compare with 'y=mx+c'
m=2,c=-12
<P>
m refers to slope,therefore slope of this line is 2
we need to find the equation of some line which is parallel to this
so the line we need will also have slope 2
<P>
Now our line has slope 2 and passes through point(-3,5)
using straight-line equation of slope-and-point form we get
{{{y-b=m(x-a)}}}
where m is slope,and (a,b) is the point it passes through
{{{y-5=2(x-(-3))}}}
{{{y-5=2(x+3)}}}
{{{y-5=2x+6}}}
{{{y=2x+6+5}}
{{{y=(2x+11)}}}
<P>
Hope this helps,
