Given
\n" ); document.write( "x+3y = 8
\n" ); document.write( "3y = -x + 8
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y+=+%28-1%2F3%29x+%2B+%288%2F3%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "slope is \"-1%2F3\", a parallel line will have the SAME slope
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Using the point and slope in the point-slope formula
\n" ); document.write( "y - 9 = \"-1%2F3\"(x-6)
\n" ); document.write( "y - 9 = \"-1%2F3\"x + \"-1%2F3\"(-6)
\n" ); document.write( "y - 9 = \"-1%2F3\"x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"-1%2F3\"x + 2 + 9
