Find the equation of the line that contains the point (3,17) and is parallel to the line
\n" ); document.write( "y=-2/3x-5.
\n" ); document.write( "slope=-2/3
\n" ); document.write( "parallel line has the same slope
\n" ); document.write( "y=-2x/3+b
\n" ); document.write( "solving for b using coordinates of given point on the line
\n" ); document.write( "17=-2*3/3+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=19
\n" ); document.write( "equation of parallel line: y=-2x/3+19
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
