write an equation for the line that contains (5,1) that is parallel to y = 3/5x - 4
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( " y = 3/5x - 4
\n" ); document.write( "compare with y= mx +b
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = 3/5
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "A parallel line will have same slope = 3/5
\n" ); document.write( "passing through (5,1)
\n" ); document.write( "find b
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx +b
\n" ); document.write( "1=3/5 *5 +b
\n" ); document.write( "1=3+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=-3+1
\n" ); document.write( "b=-2
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "The equation will be y = (3/5)x -2
\n" ); document.write( "...
