We can see that the equation has a slope and a y-intercept .

Since parallel lines have equal slopes, this means that we know that the slope of the unknown parallel line is .
Now let's use the point slope formula to find the equation of the parallel line by plugging in the slope and the coordinates of the given point

.

Start with the point slope formula

Plug in , , and

Distribute

Multiply

Add 1 to both sides.

Combine like terms.

So the equation of the line parallel to that goes through the point

is .

Here's a graph to visually verify our answer:
Graph of the original equation (red) and the parallel line (green) through the point
