Answer

$f(x) = 1/3x-17/3$

Work Step by Step

We know that the line is parallel to the given line, so their slopes are the same. Thus, we know that the slope must be 1/3. Next, we use the second point to find: $y = 1/3x-17/3$ However, we were asked to write this in function notation, so we replace y with f(x). $f(x) = 1/3x-17/3$
