y = 5 x + 6
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = 5
\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 5
\n" ); document.write( "m= 5 ,point ( 4 , -1 )
\n" ); document.write( "Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "-1 = 20.00 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= -21
\n" ); document.write( "m= 5
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and b in y = mx +b
\n" ); document.write( "The required equation is y = 5 x -21
\n" ); document.write( " y = 5 x -21
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
