Answer:
y = (7/3)x - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Convert given equation to y=mx+b form --> y = (7/3)x - 5/3
2. Equation of new line --> y = (7/3)x + b
- Note: 7/3 is the slope and for lines to be parallel they need the same slope so both equations have 7/3.
3. Plug in given values --> 5 = (7/3)(6) + b
4. Solve for b --> b = 5 - 14    b = -9
5. New line --> y = (7/3)x - 9
