Do you know what to do ? @Peaches15

What you have to do is find the slope of the graphed line. Judging from the line, it is (-1/2). Plug that into the point-slope form equation. y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) y - y_1 = (-1/2) (x - x_1) The only thing left to do is plug in the points given for the parallel line. y - y_1 = (-1/2)(x - x_1) Simplify. y - 3 = (-1/2)(x - 2) y - 3 = -1/2x + 1 y - 3 + 3 = -1/2x + 1 + 3 y = -1/2x + 4 That's the equation for the parallel line.
