Two lines are parallel if they hay the same slope.
The slope, m, of the line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is computed as follows:
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
From the graph, line m passes through the points (0, 1) and (3,3), then its slope is:
[tex]m=\frac{3-1}{3-0}=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Equation of a line in slope-intercept form
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]
where m is the slope and (x1, y2) is a point on the line.
The new line has to pass through point P(1, -2). Substituting with this point and m = 2/3 into the general formula:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y-(-2)=\frac{2}{3}(x-1) \\ y+2=\frac{2}{3}(x-1) \end{gathered}[/tex]
