***
standard form of equaation for a line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
given equation:
3x-5y=3
5y=3x-3
y=3x/5-3/5
slope=3/5
..
parallel lines have the same slope
equation of parallel line
y=3x/5+b
solve for b using coordinates of given point on the line(-6,-6)
-6=3*(-6)/5+b
b=-6+18/5=-12/5
equation: y=3x/5-12/5
5y=3x-12
in standard form:
3x-5y=12
