You can put this solution on YOUR website!
an equation in slope-intercept form of the line is:
y=mx%2Bb where m is a slope and b is y-intercept

if a line passes through (6,+10) and is parallel to the graph of y=13x%E2%88%921, we know that a line will have same slope since parallel to given line
so, slope is m=13
substitute slope and point in y=mx%2Bb
10=13%2A6%2Bb......solve for b
10=78%2Bb
b=10-78
b=-68
and your equation is:

y=13x-68
