Answer
The line described has a slope of 2 and a point of $(-2,1)$
Work Step by Step
We first find the slope of the parallel line, for this is equal to the slope of the given line:
$ 2x = y +6 \\ y = 2x -6 $
The slope is 2.
In order to sketch this given line, start at the point $(-2,1)$ in the coordinate plane. Next, recalling that slope is rise over run, use this point to find another point on the graph. In this case, start at $(-2,1)$ and go up 2 and over 1 to the point $(-1,3)$. Finally, draw a straight line that goes through both points.
