For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:


y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

We have to, if two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal.

Given the line
y = x + 4, with slope
m_ {1} = 1. A parallel line will have slope
m_ {2} = 1and its equation will be of the form:


y = x + b

We substitute the given point and find "b":


2 = 2 + b\\2-2 = b\\b = 0

Finally, the equation is:


y = x

Answer:


y = x
