an equation for the line parallel to the line through the point (, ):
. ..first write it in slope-intercept form to find a slope


....as you can see, the slope is , and we know that the line parallel to this line will have same slope
so far the equation of the parallel line is:
...we will use given point (, ) to find y-intercept




so,the equation is
