    y = - x

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The equation of a line in slope - intercept form is

    y = mx + c (m is the slope and c the y - intercept)

    y = - x - 5 ← is in slope - intercept form

    with slope m = - 1

    Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

    y = - x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

    To find c substitute ( - 2, 2) into the partial equation

    2 = 2 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 2 = 0

    y = - x ← equation of parallel line

    Y=-x

    Lines are parallel when they have the same slope with a different y-axis.
