Write the equation of the line that has y-intercept 4 and is parallel to y = - 2

The equation of the line would be y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the first line is horizontal and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line must also be horizontal.

All horizontal lines are written using the equation y = (a number). We are given that number in the y-intercept, which in this case is 4.

y = 4
