6 x -5 y = 3
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of this line
\n" ); document.write( "make y the subject
\n" ); document.write( "-5y=-6x+3
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by -5
\n" ); document.write( " y =1.2x-0.6
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = 1.2 0.8 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 ( 0 , 2 )
\n" ); document.write( "Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "2=b
\n" ); document.write( "b=2
\n" ); document.write( "m=0.8
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and b in y = mx +b
\n" ); document.write( "The required equation is y =0.8x+2 (0.8=4/5)
\n" ); document.write( "y= 4/5x+2
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
