Question 667495: Graph the line that passes through (–4, 4), parallel to the graph of 4.8x + 10y = 5

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Parallel lines have the same slope.
...
Using
4.8x + 10y = 5
10y = -4.8x + 5
y = -.48x + .5
...
The slope is -.48
...
Using the slope and the cooridinates (-4,4), solve for y-intercept, b.
4 = -.48(-4) + b
4 = 1.92 + b
b = 4-1.92 = 2.08
...
highlight%28y=-.48x+%2B+2.08%29, which is parallel to
highlight_green%28y=-.48x+%2B+.5%29
