Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines cut by a transversal are two lines which do not cross intersected by a third line. Because lines such as m and n are parallel, we have angles which are equal to each other.
- Corresponding Angles - angles located in the same position in each intersection. Can be shown by translating or sliding the angle down/up.
- Alternate Interior Angles - angles located inside the parallel lines across the transversal. Can be shown by reflecting and translating or rotation.
- Alternate Exterior Angles - angles located outside the parallel lines across the transversal. Can be shown by reflecting and translating or rotation.
- Vertical angles - angles across a vertex from one another. Can be shown by reflection.
The angles shown here are located outside the parallel lines and across the transversal from each other. Therefore we have Alternate Exteroir angles and can set them equal to each other to solve for x.
We check our work and should get equal angles:

Answer:
Given line with an equation of y = 4x + 3
Parallel lines contain equivalent slopes, so a parallel line to the given equation would contain a slope of m = 4.
Plug in the coordinates of the point given, along with the slope into the equation y = mx + b where:
m = slope
y = y-coordinate of point
x = x-coordinate of point
Solve for the 'b' value, or y-intercept:
y = mx + b
6 = 4(2) + b
6 = 8 + b
b = -2
Rewrite the equation as slope-intercept form:
y = 4x - 2
