Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form that is parallel to the line x+5y=10 and goes through the point (-5,6)

The equation would be y = -1/5x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of this new line, we first need to identify the slope of the first line. We do this by putting it into slope intercept form.

x + 5y = 10

5y = -x + 10

y = -1/5x + 2

In slope-intercept form, the slope is always the coefficient of x. This makes the slope of the first equation -1/5. Since parallel lines have the same slope, our new slope will also be -1/5.

Given that and the point, we can solve for the equation using point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 6 = -1/5(x + 5)

y - 6 = -1/5x - 1

y = -1/5x + 5

y = 2x

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide each number in the sequence, you'll see that they all have a multiple factor of 2. each number in the series, and any other numbers which may continue, will be multiplied by 2. therefore, y is the next number in the sequence, and x is the current one, so, our formula will be y = 2x.
