Lines that are parallel have the same slope:
\n" ); document.write( "Line #1 = 6x-3y=10
\n" ); document.write( "y=2y-10/3
\n" ); document.write( "So. Slope #1 = (2)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Line #2 = use the slope-intercept formula: y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "-2=(2)(-5)+b [plug-in points (-5, -2) and slope = m = 2]
\n" ); document.write( "-2=-10+b [solve for the b-term]
\n" ); document.write( "b=8
\n" ); document.write( "Plugging b=8 back into the slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) gives
\n" ); document.write( "y=2x+8
\n" ); document.write( "Line # 2: y=2x+8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
