Answer:

y= 2x +4

Step-by-step explanation:

To be parallel means the line second line will never cross as u keep moving along. 2 lines that never cross that have same direction.

So when you shift the y intercept( the y point on graph) the new line is on top of the old line. But the new line will never cross since the slope is same.
