Find the equation of a straight line parallel to the line 2x - y = 5 and having intercept of 5
Take Free Practice Test On 2026 JAMB UTME, Post UTME, WAEC SSCE, GCE, NECO SSCE
  • A 2x + y = 5
  • B 2x + y = -5
  • C 2x - y = -5
  • D 2x - y = 5
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Condition for Parallelism means that their gradient value is same
line 2x - y = 5 is rearranged
As y = 2x - 5 from y = mx + c
: line 2x - y = 5 has the gradient of 2
A parallel line with gradient of 2 and intercept of 5
→2x - y = -5
Rearranged as y = 2x + 5
