Answer:

Explanation:

6x - y = 1

6x - 1 = y.....rearrange

y = 6x - 1......slope is 6. A parallel line will have the same slope.

y = mx + b

slope(m) = 6

(-5,-5)...x = -5 and y = -5

now we sub and find b, the y int

-5 = 6(-5) + b

-5 = -30 + b

-5 + 30 = b

25 = b

so ur equation is : y = 6x + 25 <==
