Question 583431
-2    	x	+	5	y  	=	-2	
Find the slope of this line							
make y the subject							
5	y  	=	2    	x		-2	
Divide by	5						
	y  	=	 2/5	x		- 2/5	
Compare this equation with y=mx+b							
slope m =	 2/5						
The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same							
The slope of the required line will be			 2/5				
m=	 2/5	,point	(	3	,	-1	)
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in							
y=mx+b							
-1	=	6/ 5	+	b			
b=	-11/5						
m=	 2/5						
Plug value of  the slope  and b		in y = mx +b		
The required equation is	y  	= 2/5x	-11/ 5
