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)
