Find the equation of a straight line parallel to the line 2x - y = 5 and having intercept of 5

A.

2x + y = 5

B.

2x + y = -5

C.

2x - y = -5

D.

2x - y = 5

Correct answer is C

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
