Find the slope of the given line, call it
for the purposes of this discussion. Then using the given point,
, and the Point-Slope form, derive an equation representative of the desired line. Put the result in Slope-Intercept form. You can use the slope of the given line as the slope of the desired line because parallel lines have equal slopes.
