Answer:

y = -2x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slopes of the lines are equal when the lines are parallel to each other.

So, the equation of the given line is y = -2x + 2.

Here,

y = mx + c

y = -2x + 2

slope ⇒ m ⇒ -2

Therefore, the slope of the new line will be ( - 2 ).

And now we have to find the y-intercept ( c ).

For that let us use the given coordinate.

( -6 , 6 ) ⇒ ( x , y )

To find the y-intercept we have to make c the subject of the equation y mx + c.

Also, we have to replace m with ( - 2 ) as the slope of the new line is -2.

Let us solve it now.

y = m x + c

6 = -2 × -6 + c

6 = 12 + c

6 - 12 = c

-6 = c

Now we have found that,

m ⇒ - 2

c ⇒ -6

And now let us write the equation of the line.

y = m x + c

y = -2x - 6
