Answer:

Explanation:


y=mx+b


m is the slope,
b is the y-intercept

in order for the lines to be parallel they must have the same
m. we can find the slope of MN by subtracting
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) ),


x_(2)=3,
x_(1)=-6,
y_(2) =-5,
y_(1)= 1


(-5-1)/(3+6) =(-6)/(9) =-(1)/(3) is your slope.

Now write the equation as
y=-(1)/(3) x+b and for your
x and
y values use Point P: (6,1)


1=-(1)/(3)(6) +b


1=-2+b


3=b

Final equation:
y=-(1)/(3) +3
