Calculate the slope of the given line by taking the additive inverse of the quotient of the coefficient on
divided by the coefficient on
.
Use the slope of the given line and the coordinates of the given point to derive the desired equation using the Point-Slope form of an equation of a line:
Where
is the calculated slope and
are the coordinates of the given point.

*****
straight line that passes through the point (p,v) and is parallel to the line with equation Ax+By+C=0
*****
The part of expression stays the same.
Only C changes, according to the point that the line must include.
.
Use this for your example.
