Question 570801
1	x	+	7	y  	=	3		
Find the slope of this line 								
make y the subject								
7	y  	=	-1	x	+	3		
Divide by 	7							
	y  	=	-  1/ 7	x	+	 3/7		
Compare this equation with y=mx+b								
slope m =	- 1/7							
The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same								
The slope of the required line will be 	- 1/7					
m=	- 1/7	,point	(	3	,	6	)	
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in								
y=mx+b								
6	=	-3/7	+	b				
b=	45/7							
m=	- 1/7							
Plug value of  the slope  and b	in y = mx +b			
The required equation is y  	=	- 1/7	x	+	45/7
