Answer:
Given line with an equation of y = 4x + 3
Parallel lines contain equivalent slopes, so a parallel line to the given equation would contain a slope of m = 4.
Plug in the coordinates of the point given, along with the slope into the equation y = mx + b where:
m = slope
y = y-coordinate of point
x = x-coordinate of point
Solve for the 'b' value, or y-intercept:
y = mx + b
6 = 4(2) + b
6 = 8 + b
b = -2
Rewrite the equation as slope-intercept form:
y = 4x - 2
