given:
line parallel to: 2x + 6y = 5
through point: (2,1)
---
slope:
6y = -2x + 5
y = -(1/3)x + 5/6
slope = -(1/3)
---
to solve the linear equation, copy and paste this (the given point and parallel slope):
2, 1, -0.333333
into the "Point-Slope form: x1 y1 m" input box here: https://sooeet.com/math/linear-equation-solver.php
---
x-intercept = (5, 0)
y-intercept = (0, 1.666666)
slope = -0.333333
---
answer:
the slope-intercept form of our new line:
y = -0.333333x + 1.666666
