+y+=+6x+%2B+5+
Slope = +6+
Any line parallel to this line will
also have slope = +6+
------------------------------
( -1, -2 )
The general form is:
+y+=+m%2Ax+%2B+c+
+y+=+6x+%2B+c+
Plug in the given point
+-2+=+6%2A%28-1%29+%2B+c+
+-2+=+-6+%2B+c+
+c+=+4+
--------------------
+y+=+6x+%2B+4+
--------------------
Check:
Does it go through ( -1, -2 ) ?
+-2+=+6%2A%28-1%29+%2B+4+
+-2+=+-6+%2B+4+
+-2+=+-2+
