The equation of a line in the slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
If it is known:
- The equation of a parallel line
- One point of the equation
To find the equation of the line, follow the steps:
1. Parallel lines have the same slope. So, use the slope of the parallel line to find the slope of the line.
2. Substitute the point in the equation to find b.
3. Since m and b are known, you found the equation of the line.
