Standard Operating Procedure for Parallel Path Mapping

Imagine you are writing a technical manual for field technicians who need to calculate the path of a new utility line. The new line must run perfectly parallel to an existing straight utility line whose equation is already known. Describe the standard algebraic procedure required to determine the equation of the new line's path, given a specific starting coordinate point. In your response, explicitly state the fundamental mathematical rule regarding the slopes of parallel lines and list the sequential steps used to reach the final equation.
