1 y = 6 x + 0
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 1
\n" ); document.write( " y = 6 x + 0
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = 6
\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 6
\n" ); document.write( "m= 6 ,point ( - 2/ 3 , 1 )
\n" ); document.write( "Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "1 = -4 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= 5
\n" ); document.write( "m= 6
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and b in y = mx +b
\n" ); document.write( "The required equation is y = 6 x + 5
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
