How do i solve to get the parallel equation

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope. For example, the line 4x – 5y = 12 has a slope of m = 4/5. The slope of every line parallel to this line would have to be m = 4/5.

There are three steps required to find the parallel equation. I've attached a sample equation to illustrate these steps.

Step 1: Find the slope of the line.
Step 2: Use the slope to find the y-intercept.
Step 3: Use steps 1 and 2 to write the answer.
