What is an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that
passes through (6, 10) and is parallel to the graph of y-=1/3x-1?
-----
The given equation has slope = 1/3
----
The desired equation must have slope = 1/3 and y = 10 when x = 6
----------------------
10 = (1/3)(6) + b
----
b = 8
-----
Equation:
y = (1/30x + 8
--------

y-10=1/3(x-6) use point slope form(keep same slope for parallel)
3y-30=x-6 multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of fraction, add 30 to both sides
3y=x+24 divide by 3
