Answer:

The answer to your question is   y = 2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Point (2, -1)

line: y = 2x + 2

Process

1.- Find the slope of the line parallel

- The slope is the coefficient of the of the x.

           y = 2x + 2        the slope of the line is 2

2.- Find the equation of the new line

           y - y1 = m(x - x1)

- Substitution

          y + 1 = 2(x - 2)

- Simplification

          y + 1 = 2x - 4

- Solve for y

          y = 2x - 4 - 1

          y = 2x - 5

You have to plug in 2 for x and -1 for y. So your equation would look like -1=2(2)+2 and then you would distribute and solve
