Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the Equation of a Line Parallel or Perpendicular to a Given Line

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Since any two parallel lines have the same slope we know the slope of the unknown line is \"0.6\" (its from the slope of \"y=0.6%2Ax-2\" which is also \"0.6\").\n" ); document.write( "Also since the unknown line goes through (-5,1), we can find the equation by plugging in this info into the point-slope formula
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Point-Slope Formula:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\" where m is the slope and (\"x%5B1%5D\",\"y%5B1%5D\") is the given point
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y-1=0.6%2A%28x%2B5%29\" Plug in \"m=0.6\", \"x%5B1%5D=-5\", and \"y%5B1%5D=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y-1=0.6%2Ax-%280.6%29%28-5%29\" Distribute \"0.6\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y-1=0.6%2Ax%2B3\" Multiply
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=0.6%2Ax%2B3%2B1\"Add \"1\" to both sides to isolate y
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=0.6%2Ax%2B4\" Combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So the equation of the line that is parallel to \"y=0.6%2Ax-2\" and goes through (\"-5\",\"1\") is \"y=0.6%2Ax%2B4\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So here are the graphs of the equations \"y=0.6%2Ax-2\" and \"y=0.6%2Ax%2B4\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " graph of the given equation \"y=0.6%2Ax-2\" (red) and graph of the line \"y=0.6%2Ax%2B4\"(green) that is parallel to the given graph and goes through (\"-5\",\"1\")
