If you put the given equation into slope-intercept form then you will be able to determine the slope of the given line by inspection. Then use:
to determine the slope of the desired parallel line. Then use the point-slope form to write an equation of the desired line:
where are the coordinates of the given point and is the given/calculated slope. Finally, arrange your equation into slope intercept form:
