Expert Solution
Concept Used

The General equation of a straight line is given by Y = mX+C ; where m = slope of straight line.

                                                                                                                    C = y-intercept.

Slopes of any two parallel lines are equal.

If we know the slope of straight line ( let it to be m) and passsing through a point (x1,y1).

      then the equation of straight line can be determined by (Y-y1) = m(X-x1)
