What is the equation, in standard form, that's parallel to the given line and contains the given point.

2x+3y=30;(2,-5)
Answered by Reiny
Since your new line is parallel to the given one, nothing will change on the left side of your equation.

so ...
let your new equation be
2x + 3y = k, plug in the values x=2 and y=-5, solve for k, and put that back in.

See how easy it is?
