From the given line, we know that the slope of the new line must be the same as the slope of the old line because they are parallel.
Slope is 1 9
Point is at (5,−1) (given point that new line passes through)
Point-slope form:
y + 1 = 1 9 ( x - 5 )
Slope intercept form:
y = 1 9 ( x - 5 ) - 1
y = 1 9 x - 5 9 - 1
y = 1 9 x - 14 9
