parallel lines have the same slope

the given line is already in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

the new line will have the same slope but a different y-intercept

y = 6x + ? ___ use the given point to find the new y-intercept

7 = 6(10) + ? ___ 7 = 60 + ? ___ -53 = ?

so the new equation is ___ y = 6x - 53
