The equation of the line that is parallel and passes through the point (2,3) is; x +2y =8.

<h3>What is the equation of the line that passes through (2,3)?</h3>

If follows from the task content that the slope of the first line is; (-4-0)/(4-(-4)) = -1/2.

Hence, since the lines are parallel, they have the same slope and the equation of the second line is;

-1/2 = (y-3)/(x-2)

-x+2 = 2y -6

x +2y =8.
