Question 523778
1	x	+	-10	y  	=	5			
Find the slope of this line 									
make y the subject									
-10	y  	=-1x+5			
Divide by 	-10								
	y  	=	0.1x-0.5			
Compare this equation with y=mx+b									
slope m =	0.1					
The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same									
The slope of the required line will be 	0.1						
m=	0.1	,point	(	-8	,	-1	)		
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in									
y=mx+b									
-1	=	-0.80	+	b					
b=	-0.2								
m=	0.1								
Plug value of  the slope  and b					in y = mx +b				
The required equation is y  	=	0.1x-0.2		
		(y  	=	  1/10	x		-  1/ 5)
