Actually Welcome to the concept of Parallel lines.
We must first understand that, Parallel Lines always have a same Slope, hence the 'm' value in y=mx+c equation will same, here it is '1/2' in the above equation,
so the points here are (-6,-17)
==>
(y-(-17)) = m(x-(-6))
==>
here m = 1/2 ,hence
y+17 = 1/2(x+6)
==> y+17 = 1/2(x) + 3
==> y = 1/2(x) + 3 - 17
==> y = 1/2(x) - 14
hence the Option 4.) is the correct answer!!
