Question 521928
1	x	+	5	y  	=	8				
Find the slope of this line 										
make y the subject										
5	y  	=	-1	x	+	8				
Divide by 	5									
	y  	=	-0.2	x	+	1.6				
Compare this equation with y=mx+b										
slope m =	-0.2			- 1/5						
The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same										
The slope of the required line will be 			-0.2							
m=	-0.2	,point	(	6	,	9	)			
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in										
y=mx+b										
9	=	-1.20	+	b						
b=	10.2	=>51/5	
m=	-0.2=>	- 1/5	
Plug value of  the slope  and b	in y = mx +b					
The required equation isy =	-0.2	x	+	10.2			
		(y  	=	-  1/ 5	x	+	51/ 5)
