Answer:

y = 6

Explanations:

Note:

The point-slope equation of a line is given by the formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

The slope - Intercept form of the equation of a line is: y = mx + x

Where m is the slope, and c is the intercept

When two lines are parallel, they have the same slope

The equation of the given line is y = -2

Comparing this equation to y = mx + c:

m = 0, c = -2

The equation of the line passing through the point (2, 6) and parallel to the line y = -2 will also have a slope, m = 0

Using the formula y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), the equation of the line becomes:

y - 6 = 0 (x - 2)

y - 6 = 0

y = 6
