y = 4/5 x -2
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = 4/5
\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 4/5
\n" ); document.write( "m= 4/5 ,point ( 15 , -2 )
\n" ); document.write( "Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "-2 = 12 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= -14
\n" ); document.write( "m= 4/5
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and b in y = mx +b
\n" ); document.write( "The required equation is y = 4/5 x -14
\n" ); document.write( "
