You can
put this solution on YOUR website!You need to use the point-slope form of the equation of a straight line. You also need to use the fact that parallel lines have equal slopes. The given equation is in the slope-intercept form, meaning that the coefficient on the
term is the slope of the line.
The point-slope form is
where
)
is the given point and
is the slope.
Since you did not specify the form for your answer, when you have substituted the values you can call that done. However, if you need your answer in slope-intercept form, then you need to solve the resulting equation for
.
