Question 525221: i dont understnad this at all. On my algebra homework it says Parallel y=6x-5 (10,7) and then it says to answer in y=mx+b form. im so confused i dont know what to do at all. can you please just explain what to do if you understand at all.

parallel lines have the same slope

the given line is already in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

the new line will have the same slope but a different y-intercept

y = 6x + ? ___ use the given point to find the new y-intercept

7 = 6(10) + ? ___ 7 = 60 + ? ___ -53 = ?

so the new equation is ___ y = 6x - 53
