You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line. Write it in slope intercept form:  
(0,6) 7y-35x=4  
a) y=5x+6 
b) y=5x-6 
c) y=-1/6x+4 
d) -1/5x+6 
e) y=-1/5x+4  
Explain how you got the answer  
------------------------- 
7y-35x=4 
7y = 35x + 4 
y = 5x + 4/7 --> Slope = 5 
Only a and b have a slope of 5, so c and d are out. 
Sub 0 for x into a and b, and only satisfies the equation, so b is eliminated. 
It's a, y = 5x+6
