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 )

        (Distributive property: )

              (Product of two same signs is positive)

                     (Multiply:  )

                           (Additive indentity property: )

               (Subtract 1 from each side)

                     (Additive inverse property: )

                           (Additive indentity property: )

The slope-intercept form line equation is .
