1 y = 2 x -10
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 1
\n" ); document.write( " y = 2 x -10
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = 2
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of the required line will be 2
\n" ); document.write( "m= 2 ,point ( -6 , -3 )
\n" ); document.write( "Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "-3 = -12 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= 9
\n" ); document.write( "m= 2
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and b in y = mx +b
\n" ); document.write( "The required equation is y = 2 x + 9
\n" ); document.write( "
