Find the equation of the line that is parallel to 6x -3y = 9 and goes through the point (1,6).
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "6x-3y=9
\n" ); document.write( "3y = 6x-9
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x-3
\n" ); document.write( "So. the slope of your parallel line is 2:
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation form of the line is y = mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "you have y=6,x=1, and m=2; solve for \"b\".
\n" ); document.write( "6 = 2*1+b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 4
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x+4
\n" ); document.write( "==============
