Step 1: Determine the slope of the line represented by the given equation. Solve the given equation for y. Then the slope, m, will be the resulting coefficient on x.
Step 2: Parallel lines have equal slopes. That is to say:
So, using the given point and the value of m determined in step 1, use the point-slope form of the equation of a line to develop your desired equation.
 = (8, 1))
so:
)
becomes
)
Solve for y to put your final equation in slope-intercept form. You should notice that your answer will differ from the results of step 1 by only the value of the constant term.
