Determine the slope of the line represented by the given equation. The given equation is in standard form, so divide the opposite of the coefficient on 
by the coefficient on 
.
Parallel lines have identical slopes, so the slope of the desired line is the same as the slope you just calculated.
Use the point-slope form of the equation of a line
 )
where )
are the coordinates of the given point and 
is the calculated slope.
Insert the known values and then solve the equation for in terms of everything else to get the equation into slope-intercept form, namely
