How to solve this problem

Question

The line passes through the point (2, 2) and is parallel to the line y = -2x - 1

Answer 1

y=-2x -1 has slope = -2, the coefficient of the x term when the equation is solved for y

y=-2x +b where b = the y intercept, found by plugging in the point (2,2)

2 =-2(2) + b

b = 2+4 = 6

y=-2x + 6 is the parallel line through the given point
