Given the line 5x – 2y = 10, Find the equation of a parallel line that passes through the point (2, 3). Find the x- and y-intercepts of both lines. Plot the intercepts and use them to graph both lines on the same set of axes.

Respuesta :

1) for this problem you have to find the slope in first place of the  given line

5x-2y = 10 ⇒2y = 5x-10⇒y =(5/2)x-5

now to calculate the intersection points of the line 5x-2y = 10, you do x= 0 and obtain -2y= 10 therefore y = -5, the point of intersection with the axis y is (0,-5)


2) in second place ,if two lines are parallels then the slopes must be equal for both

m1 = 5/2

3) with the equation point- slope you can find the equation

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-3 = 5/2(x-2)⇒ 2y-6 = 5(x-2)⇒2y-6= 5x-10⇒5x-2y = 4

to find the intersection point with axis x and y , we procedure of similar form as the previous line

if x = 0 then y = -2 the point will be (0,-2)

if y = 0 then x = 4/5  the point will be ( 4/5,0)
