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)
