First find the slope of the line
.
Rewrite the line in slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m is slope and b is y-intercept.
\
(Add 10x from each side)
(Simplify)
(Divide each side by 6)
(Simplify)
Compare the equation with slope-intercept form and find the slope of the line.
\ =
.
The line is paralle to
. Parallel line has same slope.
So, slope of the new line =
.
\
Graph the line using given point and slope.
\1. Draw a coordinate plane.
\2. Plot the given point (0, 3).
\3. Find the next point using
. Start at (0, 3) and go up 5 units and 3 units right, then mark a dot and label it.
4. Draw a line through these points.
