parallel lines have the same slope. So if you equation if 5y+x=2 for example, you can solve for y and then look at the coefficient of x, that number is the slope.
So in the example 5y+x=2, 5y=-x+2 or y=-1/5x+2/5
The slope is -1/5 so any line with that slope will be parallel. The 2/5 is the y intercept or the location where the line hits the y axis. This can be any real number.

What are the soluition of these epautions 4x -5y -12 and -x 5y 18?
If you mean: 4x-5y = -12 and -x+5y =18 Then the solutions of the equations are: x = 2 and y = 4
What type of line is 3x 5y 5?
I assume there are a missing + and =, that is the equation is either:3x + 5y = 53x = 5y + 5(though the first is the most likely).They are both the equation of a straight line.
How do you make equations equivalent?
You cannot change two existing, completed equations so that they are equal to each other. However, when working with two equations, you may set them equal to each other to solve a system of equations. An example is the system of 2x+5y=103x-5p=10 You may now combine the two, as they both are equal to ten. This results in the eqation of 2x+5y=3x-5p You may simplify this to 5y=x-5p This brings you one step closer to solving, and one may complete the system with some additional information.
What is the y-intercept of the line given by 2x 5y -10?
If you mean 2x+5y = -10 then the y intercept is -2
What is the slope of the line 4x-5y equals 13?
4x-5y = 13 -5y = -4x+13 y = 4/5x-13/5 Slope = 4/5 or 0.8
