Question 1035288: HI!
How do I
Find the equation of the line parallel to the line
2x-y+=0, that passes through the point (5,2)
Write the equation in point-slope And slope intersect forms.
Thank you , I greatly appreciate the help.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Part of the given equation was omitted but since wante "parallel", you will be able to start finding the needed equation asked as 2x-y=2%2A5-2. Convert into the other two equational forms that you want.

Given equation was 2x-y%2B4=0. It makes no difference. The procedure can be the same. The parallel line to it will still have the same slope and therefore the coefficients on the variables will be the same for both equations. Find your needed equation and use you basic algebra skills to find the other two FORMS of the equation.
