\n" ); document.write( "Standard form of equation for a line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "3x-5y=1
\n" ); document.write( "5y=3x-1
\n" ); document.write( "y=3x/5-1/5
\n" ); document.write( "m=3/5
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "slope of line parallel to given equation=3/5
\n" ); document.write( "Equation of parallel line:
\n" ); document.write( "y=3x/5+b
\n" ); document.write( "solve for b using coordinates of given point (-1,-6)
\n" ); document.write( "-6=3*(-1)/5+b
