Question 785078
-2    	x	 	1	y  	=	-1	
Find the slope of this line							
make y the subject							
1	y  	=	2    	x		-1	
Divide by	1						
	y  	=	2    	x		-1    	
Compare this equation with y=mx+b							
slope m =	2    						
The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same							
The slope of the required line will be			2    				
m=	2    	,point	(	2      	,	-2	)
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in							
y=mx+b							
-2	=	4      	+	b			
b=	-6						
m=	2    						
Plug value of  the slope  and b					in y = mx +b		
The required equation is		y  	=	2    	x		-6
