Find an equation for a line that contains (-4, -3) and is parallel to the graph of 2x - 5y = 40

1. y = -2/5 x + 4 3/5
2. y = 2/5 x - 1 2/5
3. y = -5/2x - 13
4. y = 5/2x + 7
Answered by Steve
2x - 5y = 40 has slope 2/5
So, now you have a point and a slope, so use the point-slope form of the line:

y+3 = 2/5 (x+4)

Now pick the choice which matches that

P(-4,-3), m = -A/B = -2/-5 = 2/5.

Y = mx+b.
-3 = (2/5)(-4) + b,
b = ?

Plug the calculated value of m and b into the above equation.
