write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 2x+5y=15 and passes through the point (-10,1)

Question

slope intercept form homework that i do not understand and would love some help with pls and thx

Answer 1

Parallel lines have equal slopes, so

m = -2/5

y = (-2/5)x + b

Find b from the given point.

1 = (-2/5)(-10) + b

1 = 4 + b

b = -3

y = (-2/5)x - 3

Answer 2

Parallel lines have equal slopes, so

m = -2/5

y = (-2/5)x + b

Find b from the given point.

1 = (-2/5)(-10) + b

1 = 4 + b

b = -3

y = (-2/5)x - 3
