Parallel lines have identical slopes.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of your line.
\n" ); document.write( "\"9x-5y=6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-5y=-9x%2B6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%289%2F5%29x-%286%2F5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of your line is m=9/5.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use the point-slope form of a line with point (xp, yp) and slope m:
\n" ); document.write( "y-yp=m(x-xp)
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-%28-4%29=%289%2F5%29%28x-2%29\"
