Solve for y
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x-5y=9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-5y=-3x%2B9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%283%2F5%29x-1.8\"
\n" ); document.write( "parallel lines have the same slope.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%283%2F5%29x%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "plug in the point
\n" ); document.write( "\"2=%283%2F5%29%28-5%29%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2=-3%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=5\"
\n" ); document.write( "your new equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%283%2F5%29x%2B5\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
