What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y is equal to negative 1 third x plus 4 and passes through the point 6 comma 5 ?

Parallel lines have the same slope, so the required line has slope −1/3. Substitute the point (6, 5) into y = −(1/3)x + b: 5 = −2 + b, giving b = 7. Therefore, the equation is y = −(1/3)x + 7, choice A.
