write an equation that is parallel to y=-5/2x-5

Sagot :

       A parallel equation (when graphed) will have the same slope, but a different y-intercept.

       As long as you keep y = -[tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]x + b, you can input anything for b to solve this question.

       Given:

y = -[tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]x - 5

       Equation of a parallel line:

y = -[tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]x + 6, y = -[tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]x + 1,356, y = -[tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]x - 8, etc

     Example answer you can use:

             y = -[tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]x - 8
