Write the equation of line parallel to the given line and passes through the given point.

Question

3x+5y = -5 (6,1)

any help is greatly appreciated thank you.

Answer 1

The slope of the given line is -3/5; to find it manipulate the equation into the form y=mx+b.

Then the point slope form of the parallel line is -3/5 = (y-1)/(x-6) which can be "massaged" into any required form.
