Explanation of Solution
Given:
An equation:
Concept used:
We know that the slopes of two parallel lines are same.
The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is
Calculation:
We can see from our given equation that it is in slope-intercept form and its slope is
Now we will substitute the slope and y-intercept
Therefore, the equation of parallel line to our given line is
