Write the slope-intercept form of an equation for the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the given line.
[list=1] [*]Rewrite the given equation in slope-intercept form. [*]Identify the slope of the given line. [*]Substitute the slope of the given line for [math]m[/math] in the point-slope form of a linear equation. [*]Substitute [math]x[/math] and [math]y[/math] from the given point into the equation for [math]x_{1}[/math] and [math]y_{1}[/math]. [*]Simplify the equation.
