You can put this solution on YOUR website! the equation of a line that passes through the point (-2,6) and is parallel to the line that passes through the points (0, -4) and (3, 2). ----------
 Step 1, find the slope of the line.
 Slope m = diffy/diffx
 ==========
 Step 2:  all parallel lines have the same slope.
 Use
 y-y1 = m*(x-x1)
 where (x1,y1) is the given point (-2,6)
