Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point. y=x+8; (2,16)

Y = x + 8the slope here is 1. A parallel line will have the same slope.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 1
(2,16)x = 2 and y = 16
now we sub into the formula and find b, the y int
16 = 1(2) + b
16 = 2 + b
16 - 2 = b
14 = b
so ur equation is : y = x + 14 <==

Could you make it more clear?
