Same slope, so \"3x-5y=c\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use the point.
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%28-1%29-5%283%29=c\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c=-18\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Equation is \"3x-5y=-18\";
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for y and adjust to slope-intercept form, \"y=mx%2Bb\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "SOME CONFUSION ABOUT THE 6 IN THE ORIGINAL EQUATION:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Try it this way.
\n" ); document.write( "Original equation, 3x-5y=6
\n" ); document.write( "\"-5y=-3x%2B6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-%283%2F5%29x-6%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "Slope is \"-%283%2F5%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "For parallel line, you want the same slope, so you are looking for an equation, \"y=-%283%2F5%29x%2Bb\", and you \"do not yet know b\".
\n" ); document.write( "Solving for b, obtain \"b=y-%28-3%2F5%29x\" and plug in the point to be contained:
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=3-%28-3%2F5%29%28-1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=3%2B%28-3%2F5%29=3-3%2F5=15%2F5-3%2F5=12%2F5\";
\n" ); document.write( "Your wanted equation is then \"highlight%28y=-%283%2F5%29x%2B12%2F5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
