Write the equation of a line parallel to -2x + 5y = 6 and having a y-intercept of -3.


To understand this problem better, first convert it to slope-intercept form:
y=2/5x+1 1/5


Now you know that the slope is 2/5, and the y-intercept is 1 1/5. For a line to be parallel, it must have the same slope, so all you change in this equation is the y-intercept, which is -3.


So your new equation is:
y=2/5x-3
