You can put this solution on YOUR website! find the linear equation that passes through (p,q) and parallel to y = rx + s
Standard form of equation for a straight line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
slope of parallel line=r
equation: y=rx+b
solving for b using coordinates of given point (p,q)
q=rp+b
b=q-rp
Equation of parallel line:
y=rx+(q-p)
