Your equation is already in slope-intercept form, so you can see the slope by inspection of the coefficient on . Parallel lines have equal slopes, so now you have the slope of the line you are trying to find.
Given that you have a point through which the desired line must pass, use the point-slope form of an equation of a line:
where are the coordinates of the given point and is the given slope.
