Write an equation of the line containing the specified point and parallel to the indicated line.
\n" ); document.write( "(1,4), 3x + y = 5
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "Standard form of equation for a straight line: y=mx+b, m= slope, b= y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "For given equation:
\n" ); document.write( "3x+y=5
\n" ); document.write( "y=-3x+5
\n" ); document.write( "slope=-3
\n" ); document.write( "For line parallel to given line,
\n" ); document.write( "y=-3x+b
\n" ); document.write( "slope is the same=-3
\n" ); document.write( "solving for b using coordinates of given point (1,4)
\n" ); document.write( "4=-3*1+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=7
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y=-3x+7 \n" ); document.write( "
