Solve the given equation for y to get the slope-intercept form:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B5y=3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5y=-x%2B3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28-1%2F5%29x%2B3%2F5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now you know that the slope of the given line is \"-1%2F5\". Parallel lines have equal slopes, so use the point-slope form of the line to determine the equation of the desired line.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y-8=%28-1%2F5%29%28x-3%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y-8=%28-1%2F5%29x%2B3%2F5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28-1%2F5%29x%2B3%2F5%2B40%2F5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28-1%2F5%29x%2B43%2F5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Follow the same procedure to do the other one.
