If you represent the original straight line on a graph using Cartesian co-ordinates, it's equation will be y=mx+c where y and x are the variables and m and c are constants.
(m will equal the gradient of the line. c will be the point where the line cuts through the y axis).
Your new line, parallel to the original will be y=mx +c +d where d is the vertical distance between the point and the original line.

How do you write an equation that is parallel to a given line and passes through the given point?
Parallel straight line equations have the same slope but with different y intercepts
Write in slope intercept form the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point?
Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (2, -8).
What is an equation in slope intercept form or point slope form that passes through the given point -7 3 and is parallel to the given line x equals 4?
The equation is x = -7.
How do you negate the euclidean parallel postulate?
Assume there are no lines through a given point that is parallel to a given line or assume that there are many lines through a given point that are parallel to a given line. There exist a line l and a point P not on l such that either there is no line m parallel to l through P or there are two distinct lines m and n parallel to l through P.
Through a given point not on a given line there is exactly one line parallel to the given line?
The Playfair Axiom (or "Parallel Postulate")
What is an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line?

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point 1 2 and is parallel to the x axis?
Any equation parallel to the x-axis is of the form:y = constant In this case, you can figure out the constant from the given point.

Write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the the given line6 and 7 3x plus y equals 8?
Given point: (6, 7) Equation: 3x+y = 8 Parallel equation: 3x+y = 25
What is the equation of the line that passes through (1 2) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 4x plus y - 1 0?
Without an equality sign the given terms can't be considered to be an equation but in general when lines are parallel they have the same slope but different y intercepts.
What is the equation for the line written in slope-intercept form is parallel to the equation y-22(x-3) and passes through the point (3-3)?
The given expression is not an equation because it has no equality sign but for a line to be parallel to another line they both will have the same slope but with different y intercepts
What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (2 1) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 4x 2y 8?
Without an equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus values of the given terms it can't be considered to be an equation but in general parallel equations have the same slope but different y intercepts.
What does writing an equation in slope form of the line that passes through the given point mean?
p (2,-1) and slope 3
How do you negate the euclidean parallel postulate?
Assume there are no lines through a given point that is parallel to a given line or assume that there are many lines through a given point that are parallel to a given line. There exist a line l and a point P not on l such that either there is no line m parallel to l through P or there are two distinct lines m and n parallel to l through P.
