Slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0) or (0,y)


When lines are parallel, their slopes have to be the SAME.


Since the given line's slope is -1/2, the parallel line's slope is also -1/2


y = -1/2x + b

To find "b", plug in the point (2, -2) into the equation


y = -1/2x + b

-2 = -1/2(2) + b

-2 = -1 + b     Add 1 on both sides

-1 = b


y = -1/2x - 1
