For this question we would use point slope from and some of the provided info.
y - y1 = m(x-x1) where m is slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line. We are given a point on the line as (2,16). We can easily figure out the slope too. A line that is parallel to another line has the same slope and a different y-intercept. This means m = 1 for the line we are trying to find the equation of. Now we plug in the values. And convert to slope intercept.

y-16 = 1(x-2)
y - 16 = x - 2 ----- add 16 to both sides
y = x + 14
That would be your final answer of A the first choice. Hope this helps!
