Parallel lines have the same slope
The equation of the line is:
The equation is given as:
The slope intercept form of an equation is:
Where:
By comparison,
The line is said to be parallel to .
This means that the line has a slope of
The equation of the line is then calculated as:
Where:
So, we have:
Substitute values for m, x1 and y1
Open brackets
Hence, the equation of the line is:
