\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Parallel lines have equal slopes. First, determine the slope of the line comprised of the set of ordered pairs that is the solution set of the given equation. The easiest way to do this is to solve the equation for

in terms of

and examine the coefficient on

that results.\r

are the coordinates of the given point and

is the calculated slope.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Once you have substituted the available values, rearrange the equation into the required form, namely

where

and

, by ordinary algebraic means, i.e. adding the same quantity to both sides of the equation or multiplying both sides of the equation by the same quantity.\r
