Step 1: Determine the slope of the line represented by the given equation.
Step 2: Determine the slope of the desired line. Parallel lines have equal slopes, so the desired line will have a slope equal to the slope determined in step 1.
Step 3: Use the point-slope form of an equation of a line:
 )
where )
are the coordinates of the given point and 
is the given/calculated slope.
