Answer:
y = −2x + 13
Step-by-step explanation:
equation of line slope intercept form is y = mx +c
where m is slope and c is y intercept
when two lines are parallel then their slope are equal.

Given line
CD
y = −2x − 2
it is in form of y = mx +c
thus, m = -2
Given that other line parallel to CD y = −2x − 2
Thus, its slope will be -2.
Let the equation of required line be
y = mx +c (as slope will be -2)
Then equation of line will be
y = -2x +c
Given that this line contains (4,5) it will satisfy the equation y = -2x+c
using x = 4 and y = 5
we have
y = -2x +c
5 = -2*4 + c
=> 5 = -8 + c
=> c = 5+8 = 13
Thus, equation of line parallel to y = −2x − 2 and containing point(4,5) is
y = −2x + 13
