The left member in standard form will be the same, but the right member will be different. This ensures that the slope will remain %285%2F3%29 for the two lines to be parallel.

Use the given point to find c in 5x-3y=c.
-
5%281%2F2%29-3%28-1%2F2%29=c
5%2F2%2B3%2F2
8%2F2
4=c.
The equation wanted is highlight%285x-3y=4%29.

A guess was made that your misprint of the comma was intended to be a fraction bar.
