Answer:

y = 2x + 10

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given the line with equation

y = 2x + 1 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 2

Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c , substitute the point (- 6, - 2 ) into the partial equation

- 2 = 2(- 6) + c = - 12 + c ( add 12 to both sides )

10 = c

y = 2x + 10 ← equation of parallel line
