Write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line. Express your answer in the form Y= mx+b

(6,8); x+6y=5
The equation of the line is Y=

I do not how work this problem help me, please

1 answer

put the equation into standard form:
x+6y=5
y= -1/6 x+5/6

so the slope is -1/6, which will be the slope of the parallel line
Y=-1/6 x + b
to get b, put (6,8) into the equation.
