Find an equation for the line satisfying the given condition
Find an equation for the line satisfying the given conditions. Through (3,2) and parallel to 5x-2y=4. y=_________
Solution
Line paralle to 5x -2y =4 would have same slope
5x -2y =4 ----> 2y = 5x -4
y = (5/2)x -2
slope , m = 5/2
So, y = mx +c ---> y = 5x/2 +c
plug point ( 3, 2) to find c:
2 = 5*3/2 +c ----> c = 2 -15/2 = -11/2
So, equation of line : y = 5x/2 -11/2
2y = 5x -11
