    Answer: y = 2x also written as y = 2x + 0

    Step-by-step explanation:

    When dealing with parallel lines their slopes are ALWAYS the same so the equation would have the slope of 2, but to find the y intercept you have to plug the coordinate given into the point-slope formula (y – y1) = m(x – x1) where m is the slope, y1 is the y output of the coordinate and x1 is the x input of the coordinate.

    1. Plug cordinate into point slope form equation:

    (y – 0) = 2(x – 0)

    2. Distribute the 2 to x and 0

    y – 0 = 2x – 0

    The two zeros cancel out because they are 0s to begin with so your final answer for your y – intercept is 0

    hope this helps 🙂
