Answer

y=-x

Work Step by Step

Parallel lines have the same slope so the two equation's slope is -1. Plug in the point (2,-2) and the slope into y=mx+b to find the y-intercept: -2=-1(2)+b -distribute- -2=-2+b -add 2 to both sides- 0=b The y-intercept is 0 and the slope is -1 so the equation is y=-x
