how do i graph the line passing through (2,4) that is parallel to the graph of x-3y=6
----
Find the slope of x-3y=6
3y = x-6
y = (1/3)x-2
---
slope = 1/3
---
Find equation of line with slope = 1/3 passing thru (2,4)
Form: y = mx + b
Solve for "b":
4 = (1/3)2 + b
12/3 = 2/3 + b
10/3 = b
-----
Equation:
y = (1/3)x + (10/3)
