Answer:

equation of the parallel line will be
y=(1)/(3)x+3.

Explanation:

If the two lines have been given as y = mx + c

and y = m'x + c'

Where m and m' are the slopes of the given lines.

If these lines are parallel to each other then slopes of the lines will be same (m = m').

Equation of the given line is y =
(1)/(3)x+4 with he slope =
(1)/(3)

Then slope of a line parallel to this line m =
(1)/(3)

Equation of the parallel line will be
y=(1)/(3)x+c

Since the line passes through a point (6, 5)

Then
5=(1)/(3)* (6)+c

5 = 2 + c

c = 5 - 2

c = 3

Therefore, equation of the parallel line will be
y=(1)/(3)x+3
