A parallel line will have the same slope as y = 1/4x + 1/2.

\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1/4x + b
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "To find b, use the point you need to go through: (x,y) = (1,5).
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "5 = 1/4(1) + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 4 3/4
