Question

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 and passes through the point (0, 12)?

y = (
)x + 12

Answer 1

If it is parallel, it will contain the same slope. Slope in this case is -5. 

Answer 2

Your parallel line would be: y = -5x + 12
Hope this helps!
