You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose the line through points ( , ) and ( , ) is parallel to the graph of . Find the value of .
you are looking for parallel to the graph of 
parallel lines have same slope, so find slope of the line
-> slope
so far we have
if the line passes through point( , ), then we can use it to find y-intercept
so, our line is
if the line passes through point( , ), then and , so plug it in and solve for
so, the line passes through point( , )
check it on a graph:
