Step 1: Solve the given equation for 
in terms of everything else. That is to say, put it into slope-intercept form, 
.
Step 2: Determine the slope of the given line by examination of the coefficient on 
. The slope of the desired line will be equal because:
Step 3: Use the point-slope form of the equation of a straight line:
 )
where )
are the coordinates of the given point and 
is the given/calculated slope.
