How do you write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line? (6,3; 6x-5y=7
-------------
Find the slope of the line:
6x-5y = 7
5y = 6x-7
y = (6/5)x - (7/5)
---
slope = 6/5
----------------------------
Form of your line:
y = mx + b
3 = (6/5)(6) + b
15/5 = 36/5 + b
b = -21/5
----
Equation:
y = (6/5)x - (21/5)
==========================
