Answer:
Parallel Lines have the SAME SLOPE
We first Find the Slope of the line
y
=
2
x
+
3
The Slope Intercept Form of the equation of a given line is:
y
=
m
x
+
c
where m is the Slope of that line, and c is the Y intercept.
For this line, the Slope is 2 So the Slope of the line PARALLEL to
y
=
2
x
+
3
will also be 2
. And we are given that it passes through the point
(
−
3
,
4
)
With this, we can use the Point Slope form to find the equation of the line.
The Point-Slope form of the Equation of a Straight Line is:
(
y
−
k
)
=
m
⋅
(
x
−
h
) m is the Slope of the Line
(
h
,
k
) are the co-ordinates of any point on that Line.
Here, we have been given the coordinates
(
h
,
k
) of 1 point on that line as (
−
3
,
4
)
And the Slope m is 2
Substituting the values of h
,
k
and
m in the Point-Slope form, we get
(
y
−
4
)
=
(

⋅
(
x

(
−
3
)
)
The above will be the Equation of the Line in Point-Slope form.
If we need it in the Slope Intercept Form, we need to follow these steps:
Modifying the equation, we get:
(
y
−
4
)
=

(
x

)
y

y
=
2
x

We get the equation of the line as :
y
=
