Answer:

The parallel line would be y = -1/2x + 2

Explanation:

In order to find the slope of the new equation, we just match the first equation (since parallel lines share slope). We can now use the slope along with the new point to model the equation.

y = mx + b

2 = -1/2(0) + b

2 = 0 + b

2 = b

Now we can model the equation.

y = -1/2x + 2
