Question 533171
x-3y-15=0
make y the subject
3y=x-15
Find the slope of this line 								
Divide by 	-3							
	y  	=	 1/3	x		-5		
Compare this equation with y=mx+b								
slope m =1/3				
The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same								
The slope of the required line will be 			1/3					
m=	1/3	,point	(	-6	,	1	)	
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in								
y=mx+b								
1	=	-2.00	+	b				
b=	3							
m=	1/3							
Plug value of  the slope  and b	 in y = mx +b			
The required equation is		y  	= 1/3	x+3	
		y  	=	  1/ 3	x	+	3
