\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We can see that the equation \"y=4x-6\" has a slope \"m=4\" and a y-intercept \"b=-6\".\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=4\".\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=4\" 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-6=4%28x-0%29\" Plug in \"m=4\", \"x%5B1%5D=0\", and \"y%5B1%5D=6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y-6=4x%2B4%28-0%29\" Distribute\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y-6=4x%2B0\" Multiply\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=4x%2B0%2B6\" Add 6 to both sides. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=4x%2B6\" Combine like terms. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the equation of the line parallel to \"y=4x-6\" that goes through the point is \"y=4x%2B6\".\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you want to find the equation of line with a given a slope of \"-8\" which goes through the point (6,9), you can simply use the point-slope formula to find the equation:\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now if you just want the equation in point slope form, then the answer is simply \"y-9=-8%28x-6%29\". However, if you want it in slope-intercept form, then read on...\r
