Answer:

y= -2x-2

Explanation:

All parallel lines have the same slope. So, the line we create must have a slope of -2. If we multiply the x value by -2, we can find b through an equation.

-4 would be x in this case because it's a point we pass.

So, our equation would be

y= -2(-4)+b

y=8+b

Now, we know that y is 8+b. We can find b by plugging in y=6, because those are the coordinates of P.

6=8+b

b=-2

Now we know that b is -2. We put this into the equation for the parallel line and get:

y=-2x-2
