-2 x 1 y = -1 Find the slope of this line make y the subject 1 y = 2 x -1 Divide by 1 y = 2 x -1 Compare this equation with y=mx+b slope m = 2 The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same The slope of the required line will be 2 m= 2 ,point ( 2 , -2 ) Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in y=mx+b -2 = 4 + b b= -6 m= 2 Plug value of the slope and b in y = mx +b The required equation is y = 2 x -6
