\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We can see that the equation \"y=2%2Ax%2B3\" has a slope \"m=2\" and a y-intercept \"b=3\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since parallel lines have equal slopes, this means that we know that the slope of the unknown parallel line is \"m=2\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now let's use the point slope formula to find the equation of the parallel line by plugging in the slope \"m=2\" and the coordinates of the given point .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\" Start with the point slope formula\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y-1=2%28x-1%29\" Plug in \"m=2\", \"x%5B1%5D=1\", and \"y%5B1%5D=1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y-1=2x%2B2%28-1%29\" Distribute\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y-1=2x-2\" Multiply\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=2x-2%2B1\" Add 1 to both sides. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=2x-1\" Combine like terms. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the equation of the line parallel to \"-2x%2By=3\" that goes through the point is \"y=2x-1\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Here's a graph to visually verify our answer:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Graph of the original equation \"y=2%2Ax%2B3\" (red) and the parallel line \"y=2x-1\" (green) through the point .
