Answer:
Slope intercept form: y=mx+b; where m is the slope and B is the y intercept
For 2 lines to be parallel they must have the same slope. Thus, the slope of the new line is going to be 1.
To find the y intercept plug in the slope and the x, y into the equation y=mx+b:
y=mx+b
y=1x+b
2=1(2)+b
2=2+b
0=b
b=0
Now that we have your slope and y intercept we can make the equation:
y=1x+0
y=x
