(-3,3);4x=5y+6\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-5y=-4x+6
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by-5
\n" ); document.write( "y=0.8x-1.2
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "slope m =0.8
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of the required line will be 0.8
\n" ); document.write( "m=0.8,point(-3, 3)
\n" ); document.write( "Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "3=-2.40 +b
\n" ); document.write( "b=5.4
\n" ); document.write( "m=0.8
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and b
\n" ); document.write( "The required equation is y=0.8x+ 5.4
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
