3x +5y = 8
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Get into slope-intercept form.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "5y = -3x +8
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3/5x +8/5
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The line parallel to this line will have slope = -3/5.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3/5x + b
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point you want to go through to find 'b'
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "10 = -3/5*(-2) + b
\n" ); document.write( "10 = 6/5 + b
\n" ); document.write( "10 -6/5 = b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 50/5 - 6/5 = 44/5
