Same slope, so
Use the point.
Equation is ;
Solve for y and adjust to slope-intercept form,
SOME CONFUSION ABOUT THE 6 IN THE ORIGINAL EQUATION:
Try it this way.
Original equation, 3x-5y=6
Slope is .
For parallel line, you want the same slope, so you are looking for an equation, , and you "do not yet know b".
Solving for b, obtain and plug in the point to be contained:
;
Your wanted equation is then

Parallel means it will have the same form as the current equation:
Use the point to find the value of D.
Here is a graph of the two lines.
