Write the equation of a line parallel to another through a point

The video tutorial explains how to write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form, focusing on lines parallel to a given line. It covers the properties of parallel lines, emphasizing that they share the same slope. The tutorial demonstrates how to find the y-intercept by substituting a given point into the equation. The final equation is presented, and the instructor addresses any questions.
