Write the equation of the line through
(, )
that is parallel to

parallel lines have same slope; so, first write the equation of the given line in slope-intercept form






so, the slope is
and parallel line will be


use given point (, ) to find





and the equation of the parallel line is

Write the equation of the line through
(5, 3)
that is parallel to
4x + 5y = 12.
Parallel to 4x + 5y = 12, and passes through (5, 3)

New equation will have the same LEFT-SIDE. Now use the left side to substitute point into, to get right-side. 

In other words, we get: 4x + 5y = 4(5) + 5(3)

4x + 5y = 20 + 15

 <======= YOUR equation

That's ALL. NOTHING more, NOTHING less!!
