Regarding parallel lines, they have the same slope as the original equation. Thus, the slope will still be 2x.
Now, you must find b (as in the y=mx+b). To do so, incorporate the point into the equation where x and y are, making it.
1 = 2(-1 )+ b -> 1 = -2 + b
Then solve for b
b = 3
Finally, put the equation altogether
y = 2x + 3
I hope this helps!
