The line equation in slope-intercept form is , where m is the slope

and b is the y-intercept.

Write the line equation in slope-intercept form

        (Add  to each side)   

               (Apply commutative property of addition:  )

                      (Apply additive inverse property:  )

                            (Apply additive indentity property:  )

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 .

Substitute = and in the point-slope form equation.

            (Substitute  )

                   (Product of two same signs is positive)

                (Apply distributive property: )

                       (Multiply:  )

          (Add 2 to each side)

                (Apply additive inverse property: )

                      (Apply additive indentity property:  )

                            (Add:  )

The slope-intercept form line equation is .
