Lines that are parallel have the same slope, and the given line (y = 6x - 5) has a slope of 6; we are looking for a line with a slope of 6. To form an equation for a line, you need to know the y-intercept (the point at which the line intersects the y-axis). The first step to finding the y-intercept is to plot the given point. After you've done that, count six units up (this is our slope) and one to the right; plot the point. Lastly, draw the line by connecting the points and see where the line intersects the y-axis. My graph shows that the line intersects the y-axis at -17. All that's left now is to put our information together into an equation. I'm assuming the problem wants the equation in slope-intercept form; slope-intercept form is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, so it would look like this: y = 6x -17
