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 10x plus 5y equals 25?
10x+5y = 25 5y = -10x+25 y = -2x+5 Therefore: the slope is -2 and the intercept is 5
Find the slope of a line parallel to 3x plus 5y equals 15?
Get in slope intercept form. 3X + 5Y = 15 5Y = -3X + 15 Y = -3/5X + 3 -3/5 is the slope of this line and the line parallel to this line
Is 5y equals 2x-5 a parallel line?
5y = 2x - 5; y = (2/5)x - 1 Since two non-vertical line are parallel if they have the same slope, then 5y = 2x - 5 is parallel to any line with equation y = (2/5)x + c
What is the equation of the line that goes through 3 1 and is parallel to the line 3x plus 5y equals 6?
Known equation: 3x+5y = 6 or y = -3/5x +6/5 Slope of equation: -3/5 Slope of parallel equation: -3/5 Parallel equation: y-1 = -3/5(x-3) => 5y = -3x+14 Parallel equation in its general form: 3x+5y-14 = 0
What is the slope of a line parallel to 10x - 5y equals 8?
It will have the same slope which is 2
What is the slope of the line parallel to -3x 5y 17?
It will have the same slope but a different y intercept
Find the slope of a line parallel 3x plus 5y equals 5?
-3/5 or -0.6
Which equation represent a line parallel to the line whose equation is 2y 5y equals 10?
When a straight line equation is parallel to another equation the slope remains the same but the y intercept changes
What is the equation of the line passing through 3 1 and is parallel to 3x plus 5y equals 6 showing work?
If: 3x+5y = 6 Then: y = -3/5x+6/5 which means it has a slope of -3/5 Parallel equation: y-1 = -3/5(x-3) => 5y-5 = -3(x-3) => 5y = -3x+14 Or as: 3x+5y = 14
What is the slope of a line parallel to 3 X plus 5y 15?
It will have the same slope but with a different y intercept
How do you solve 3x equals 15 plus 5y?
3X = 15 + 5y does not have a single answer. The answer forms a line on the Cartesian plane. In order to reach a single solution you must have two equations when there are two unknowns.
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 is the slope of a line parallel to the line with equation 2x 5y 9?
Without an equality sign the terms given can't be considered to be an equation. But straight lines are parallel to each other if they have the same slope and different y intercepts.
