• We are given 2y +4x = 5
This can be rewritten as :
2y = -4x +5
y = -4/2x +5/2
y = -2x +5/2
• A line parallel to this line will also have the exact, same slope
Therefore m = -2
in order to find the equation , we will use the following formula
y = mx +c , where m = -2 :
y = -2x + c , at point (5;2)
2 = -2(5) +c
2 +10 = c
Therefore c = 12
finally;
y = -2x +12 is our equation .
