Question 774622: Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line with y-intercept (0,3) that is paralell to the line 2x+y=5

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Lines that are parallel to one
another have slopes that equal
one another.
m1 = m2
With 2x + y = 5
put into y = mx + c form
y = -2x + 5
Slope = -2
Setting up new equation.
Slope - -2
Y intercept = (0,3)
y = -2x + 3
Hope this helps.
