For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cut point with the y axis.
By definition, if two straight lines are parallel then their slopes are equal. Thus, the slope of the line sought will be
We substitute the given point to find b:
Finally the line is:
