A given line has the equation 10x+2y=-2. What is the equation , in slope intercept form, of the line that is parallel to the given line that passes through the point (0,12)
Accepted Solution
A:
2y = - 10x - 2 y = - 10x / 2 - 2/2 y = - 5x - 1
The new line is y = -5x + b Use (0,12) to get b 12 = -5(0) + b b = 12 y = - 5x + 12 <<<<<<===== Answer
