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

Explanation:

part A identification for slope:

comparing with slope intercept form: y = mx + b

we can find that here the slope is

part B, solving the equation:

if the line is parallel, then the slope will be same.

given coordinates: ( - 10, 1 )

using the equation:

y - y₁ = m( x - x₁ )

Extra information:

check the image below. this proves that the line is parallel and passes through point (-10, 1). the blue line is question line and red the answer line.
