You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = 5x -1
.
The slope is 5. The slope of a line parallel to this equation will be 5, regardless of its position.
.
To find the line that goes through the point (3,5) that has slope = 5...
.
y = 5x + b
.
now use the point to find 'b'
.
5 = 5(3) + b
.
b = -10
