Let the old line be L. Mirror line be called I, New line be N:

If the lines are parallel:

The new line has the slope of the L. 

Take the image of any point on L wrt to I. 

Use slope one point form to find N.

 

Case ii) They intersect.

Find Point of intersection. 

Take image of any point on L in I.

Use slope two point form.
