<PRE><B>Question 90881</B>
Please assist me with this problem. Thanks!
Write an equation of a line which is parallel to 5x + 2y = 4 and passes through the point (1,0).
--------------
The given line has slope m=-5/2
The line you want has form y=mx+b where m=-5/2,y=0 when x=1; solve for b:
0=(-5/2)1+b
b=(5/2)
EQUATION:
y = (-5/2)x + (5/2)
================
