3 x + -1 y = -5
Find the slope of this line
make y the subject
-1 y = -3 x + -5
Divide by -1
y = 3 x + 5
Compare this equation with y=mx+b
slope m = 3
The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same
The slope of the required line will be 3
m= 3 ,point ( -1 , 0 )
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
y=mx+b
0 = -3.00 + b
b= 3
m= 3
Plug value of the slope and b in y = mx +b
The required equation is y = 3 x + 3
y = 3 x + 3
3x-y=-3
