y=1/3×+2=mx+c
\n" ); document.write( "so by comparision m=slope of the give line=1/3
\n" ); document.write( "now the new line is parallel to the above line
\n" ); document.write( "so the slope of new line=1/3 & it passes thru (-1,-5)
\n" ); document.write( "so the required eqn is [y-(-5)]/[x-(-1)]=1/3
\n" ); document.write( "or (y+5)/(x+1)=1/3
\n" ); document.write( "or 3(y+5)=x+1
\n" ); document.write( "or 3y-x+14=0 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
