You have a general statement for Point-Slope form equation for a line, and you have a slope (which you find in your given, specific equation) and a point to be contained. Fill-in the information and simplify.

the slope of the given line is 1/2
The parallel line will also have a slope of 1/2
substitute 1 for y1; 1/2 for m and -2 for x1
y – 1 = 1/2(x – (-2))
and do the math

***
slope-intercept form of equation for a line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
y=1/2 x+3
slope,m=1/2
parallel lines have the same slope
solve point slope equation using given point (-2,1) on the line
y – y1 = m(x – x1)
y-1=1/2(x-(-2))
y-1=1/2(x+2)
2y-2=x+2
x-2y=-4
