Question 190087
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


Put your equation into slope-intercept form, *[tex \LARGE y = mx + b]


Determine the slope of your given line by inspection of the coefficient on <i><b>x</b></i>.


The slope of any line parallel to the given line must have the same slope because:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  L_1 \parallel L_2 \ \ \Leftrightarrow\ \ m_1 = m_2]


So use the point-slope form of the equation of a line, the slope of the given line, and the coordinates of the given point to derive the desired equation:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) ]


After substituting the values, I recommend that you put the equation into standard form so that it is like the given equation.
