Answer: y= 5/2x-44

Step-by-step explanation: Any lines that are parallel to each other share the same slope but have different y-intercepts. To solve for this problem, keep you would first need to find out the b-value or the y-intercept. To do this, set up the y=mx+b equation and plug the slope into m (5/2). Then, since you know the line has to pass through points (6, -29) you would plug those points into the equation: -29=5/2(6) + b . You will then solve for b and your b-value will be -44. Now, since you know your slope and your y-intercept, you now know your answer is y= 5/2x-44.
