Write the equation of the line, in standard form, that has an x-intercept of 2 and is parallel to 2x + y = -5. include your work in your final answer. type your answer in the box provided or use the upload option to submit your solution.

To become parallel, equations need to have the same slope for the x-axis. To do that, let's convert the equation to Slope Intercept Form.

2x + y = -5
Subtract y from both sides
2x = -y - 5
Divide both sides by 2.
x = -1/2y - 5/2

The slope is -1/2. Knowing this, we can make this equation.

x = -1/2y + 2

Now, we have to convert that into Standard Form.

x = -1/2y + 2
Add 1/2y to both sides.
x + 1/2y = 2
Multiply everything by 2.
2x + y = 4
