Question 1023184: A given line has the equation 10x + 2y = −2.
What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (0, 12)?
y = ( )x + 12

You are looking for the slope, which is the same as for the given equation, because both lines are to be parallel.

ax%2Bby=c is easily put into slope-intercept form....
by=-ax%2Bc
y=-ax%2Fb%2Bc%2Fb
