The line equation in slope-intercept form is 
, where m is the slope and b is
the y-intercept.
First find the slope of the line. If two lines are parallel, their slopes must be equal.
The line parallel to 
has the same slope. Compare the equation with
slope-intercept form and find the slope of the line.
Slope of the line (m) = 
.
Substitute 
and m = in the point-slope form
equation 
(Substitute 
)
(Apply distributive property: 
)
(Product of two same signs is positive)
(Multiply: 
)
(Apply additive indentity property: 
)
(Subtract 1 from each side)
(Apply additive inverse property: 
)
(Apply additive indentity property: 
) 
The slope-intercept form line that passes through 
and parallel to
line is 
.
