Points on given line = (-12,-2) and (0,-4) because you can see them on the graph. Then draw a parallel line thru (0,6)

To get from (0,-4) to (0,6) your x stays constant and your y coordinate increased by 10. So your new point will do the same in relation to (-12,-2) the x will stay constant at -12 and your y will increase by 10 to +8.

So the answer is A (-12,8)

You can check this because parallel lines have the same slope so

y2-y1/x2-x1 should be equal for both lines.

Line 1: -4 - (-2) / 0 - (-12) = -2/12 = -1/6

Line 2: 6 - 8 / 0 - (-12) = -2/12 = -1/6
