To find the equations of parallel lines from a given line, it's important to follow some simple steps. Let’s break it down!

1. Find the slope: The slope is a number that describes how steep the line is. If you have a line written as $y = mx + b$, the $m$ stands for the slope.

   • For example, in the line $y = 2x + 3$, the slope $m$ is 2.

2. Keep the same slope: Parallel lines always have the same slope. If you want to create a parallel line, you need to use this same slope, $m$.

3. Pick a new y-intercept: The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis. Choose a different y-intercept to make your new line.

   • Using the slope from before, you could make a new line like $y = 2x + 5$.

Now, you’ve created a line that is parallel to the original one!
