Answer:

(-2, -6)

Explanation:

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

slope of line PQ:

m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) = (1 - 3)/(2 - 6) = -2/(-4) = 1/2

The slope of line WR must also be 1/2.

Test point (-2, -6) with point R(0, -5).

m = (-5 - (-6))/(0 - (-2)) = 1/2

The slope is also 1/2, so point (-2, -6) lies on a parallel line to line PQ.

Answer: (-2, -6)
