Let's do it !

You should show that the equation of a line is like :
y = mx + p.

By the way, you must know that two parallel lines have the same slop, so here the slope will be :
m = 2.

So now, we have the slope and the equation is
y = 2x + p. We just have to find the letter "p" which correspond to the intercept.

Here we have :

x = 1
y = -1.

Therefore :

y = 2x + p
-1 = 2*1 + p
-1 = 2 + p
-1 -2 = p
-3 = p.

In short, the answer would be : y = 2x - 3.

Hope this helps !
