Any equation with 2 as the cofactor of x will do it.
So in general the equation is y=2x + b
for any real number b.
By the way what's parpllel (parallel maybe).

parallel lines have the same slopes. The slope of a line in the form y = mx + b is represented by the coefficient of the x-variable, in this case 2. Parallel lines obviously are in different parts of a coordinate plane so you can create a parallel line by giving it the same slope and changing the y-intercept, which is represented by the constant at the end of the equation. So some examples of parallel lines include:
original: y = 2x + 0
examples: y = 2x + 5
y = 2x - 7
y = 2x + 2385

a line parallel would have the same slope so
y = 2x + b

y = 2x + b, where b is any number (diff from zero, so it will be different from what you have already)
