Question: how to find the equation of a straight line which is parallel?
Answer: To find the slope of the given line we need to get the line into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), which means we need to solve for y: The slope of the line 3x – 5y = 9 is m = 3/5. Therefore, the slope of the line parallel to this line would have to be m = 3/5.
