Slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0 or (0,y))


For lines to be parallel, their slopes have to be the SAME.


The given line's slope is 5/3, so the parallel line's slope is also 5/3

y = 5/3x + b

To find "b", plug in the point (3,6) into the equation

y = 5/3x + b

6 = 5/3(3) + b

6 = 5 + b

1 = b


y = 5/3x + 1
