We need to find the equation of the line that is parallel to y = -2 and passes through (2, 6).

The line given, y = -2, is a horizontal line.

Horizontal lines are of the form y = a.

Now,

The point (x,y) is (2,6).

Since we need a line parallel, it will also be a horizontal line of the form y = a, where a is the y coordinate of the coordinate pair given.

Hence, the parallel line will be:

y = 6
