Answer:
y = 1/3 x + 6
Explanation:
The slope of two parallel lines is the same; thereofre the equation of the line we are seeking looks like
[tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x+b[/tex]
where b is a constant hitherto unknown.
Now, we know from point (-3, 5) that when when x = -3, y = 5; therefore,
[tex]5=\frac{1}{3}(-3)+b[/tex]
the above simplifies to
[tex]5=-1+b[/tex][tex]\therefore b=6[/tex]
Hence, the equation of the line is
[tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x+6[/tex]
