Find the equation of the line satisfying the given conditions, giving it in slope-intercept form if possible:
\n" ); document.write( "Through (-4,1), parallel to x+3y=5
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Slope of the given line = ?
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-1/3)x + (5/3)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "slope = -1/3
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Any line parallel to the given line must have slope = -1/3
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation Form:
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"b\":
\n" ); document.write( "1 = (-1/3)(-4) + b
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "1 = (4/3) + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = -1/3
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-1/3)x - (1/3)
\n" ); document.write( "======================
