Question

How do you write an equation of a line going through (4,-3) parallel to y + 2x = 7?

Answer 1

The equation of line is `y=-2x+5`

Explanation:

The slope of the line `y=-2x+7` is `-2`. So the slope any line parallel to the above line is also `-2`. Hence the equation of the line passing through`(4,-3)` with slope of `-2` is `y+3=-2(x-4) or y=-2x+5`[Ans]
