Explanation:
First find the gradient of the line passing through points
Any line parallel to this will have the same gradient.
Equation of the line passing through point
Using point slope form of a line:
Where
To find another point that this line passes through, we just put in a value for
Let
Then:
Another point is
The co-ordinates of a point on this line could be written:
