Question: Find the equation of the line passing through (2, -3) and parallel to 5x - 2y + 6 = 0.
Solution:
Slope of given line:
5x - 2y + 6 = 0 ---------(1)
⇒ y = (5/2)x + 3
∴ slope, m = 5/2
If a line has slope = m and passes through a point (x1 , y1).
Then the equation of the line is -
∴ y – y1 = m(x – x1)
Now, parallel to equation (1), has the same slope and pass through (2, -3).
So, the required line,
y + 3 = (5/2)(x - 2)
⇒ 2y + 6 = 5x - 10
⇒ 5x - 2y - 16 = 0
∴ the required line 5x - 2y - 16 = 0.
