2x=y+5; (3,1)
First find the slope of the given line 2x=y+5
y=2x-5 <--- Now in slope intercept form
The slope of above line is 2
So the slope of every line || to this line must also have a slope of 2
So new line is y=2x + b, where b is the y-intercept
Now plug in x = 3 and y =1 from the point (3,1) getting:
1=2(3) +b
so b = 1 - 6 = - 5
So required equation is y = 2x -5.

The other three problems are done exactly the same way.

I guess you are asking for the slope intercept form of the line, given a point through which it passes and a line parallel to it.....

Then this is how you proceed
The general equation for the slope intercept is
y = m*x + c
Where m is the slope and c is the intercept

Parallel lines always have the same slope. So first, simply rearrange the equations that you have to look like the slope intercept form (make sure the co-efficient of y is 1 and x is on the other side of the equation...then co-efficient of x is the slope)

So, in the first case,

2x = y + 5 --> y = 2x - 5---> m=2 (you dont need c from this equation)
Now you know that the equation you want will look something like this

y = 2x + c (where you need to find out what c is, depending on the point through which the line passes)

For this, substitute the point in this equation
(3,1)----> 1 = 2*3 + c---->c = -5------>y = 2x-5 is your equation. It is just co-incidental that the given line is the same as the answer....

Similarly proceed for the rest of the equations. (for the second, take the equation as 3x-y+5 = 0... similarly for the fourth)

For the third, I guess you made a typing mistake coz there are two constants (5 and 4/3...which would usually be combined.... if this is a typing mistake, then there is an x term and you have no problems).... otherwise what you have is something like y=c...
Visualize this line. It is parallel to the X axis. If you have your point as (a,b) then the line you want is just y=b....

Hope you are able to solve the remaining problems :)
All the best

Is the 20 you threw in there to lead us to believe that you will take the answers to those questions and go do the rest on your own?
I have a better idea. Why don't you go and read the Already solved examples and have a go at the questions?
If you have a particular concept you do not understand we will be gald to help you.

since the point is on a parallel line then slope is the same for both lines the plug the coordinates in the equation y=mx+b where m is the slope and y is the y coordinate then solve for b

2x=y+5
put equ in y=mx+b form
y=2x-5
slope=m
m=2
y-intercept when x=0
y=2(0)-5
y=-5
y-intercept=-5

Your question isn't really clear. Could you give the original context? Then I could have a go at it.
