The line parellel to 2x+y=5 and passing through (5,4) has equation

y=-2x+14

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are looking for a line parallel to 2x+y=5.

Then we are looking for an equation with the same slope as the equation 2x+y=5.

To obtain the slope of equaiton 2x+y=5 I will put it in slope-intercept form.

Luckily there is only one step which is to subtract 2x on both sides.

y=-2x+5

The slope of this line is -2

The slope of parallel line will also be -2.

So we know our equation is in the form y=-2x+b

To find b we will just use the point (x,y)=(5,4) we know is on the line.

Plug in and solve for b.

4=-2(5)+b

4=-10+b

14=b

So the equation that is parallel to 2x+y=5 and goes through (5,4) is y=-2x+14

answer: b.

step-by-step explanation:

the y coordinate for point b is 0, and answer b is the only one with that y coordinate.
