Find an equation for the line with the given properties. Parallel to the line x + 5y = 2; containing the point (0, 0)
Added by Jamie L.
Step 1
To find the slope, we need to rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope. x + 5y = 2 5y = -x + 2 y = (-1/5)x + 2/5 The slope of the given line is -1/5. Show more…
