Question 18753: Determine the equation of a line parallel to 2x - 5y = 4 and passes through (4,0).

You can put this solution on YOUR website! First put it into slope intercept form. 2x-5y=4, 5y=-2x+4, y=-2/5x+5/4. Since the line is parallel so it has the same slope. Now the points, you plug in as x and y to get the y-intercept. 0=-2/5(4)+b, 0=-8/5+b, 8/5=b. Your equation would be y=-2/5x+8/5.
