Find an equation for the line parallel to 2y+20x=10 and goes through the point (3,-8). Write your answer in the form y=mx+b.

Answer 1

(3,-8)

2y+20x =10

all parallel lines have same slope

= -20/2 = -10

y = -10x +b, plug in the point to solve for b=y intercept

-8 =-10(3) +b

b = 30-8 = 22

y = -10x +22 is the parallel line through the given point
