SOLUTION: what is the equation of a line parallel to y=5x+1 passes through 3,2 ? How do i use the point slope intercept form i know how to plug in to y=mx+b but then i cannot find b if it

Question 55400: what is the equation of a line parallel to y=5x+1 passes through 3,2 ?
How do i use the point slope intercept form i know how to plug in to y=mx+b but then i cannot find b if it is not listed. Thank You for Your Help

If the line is parallel, then it has the same slope. Plug in the (x,y) coordinate and the slope and solve for b.

m = 5
x = 3
y = 2

so the b, or the y-intercept is -13. write the equation again, this time without the (x.y)
