Parallel lines have identical slopes, so you can determine the slope of your desired line by calculating the slope of your given line and you have a given point. The slope of a line where the equation is given in standard form, , is given by

Use the Point-Slope form:



where are the coordinates of the given point and is the calculated slope.
