Answer:


y=4x-14

Explanation:

Given:

Point (3, -2)

And line equation is
y=4x-3

Compare this equation with
y=mx+b

The slope of the required line will be m = 4 and point (3. -2)

Find b by plugging the values of m and the point in below equation


y=mx+b\\

Put x and y value from point (3, -2) and slope m value.in above equation.


-2=4* 3 +b


-2=12 +b


b=-14

So, the equation is passing through the point (3, -2) and parallel to
y=4x-3 is


y=mx+b

Put
m=4 and
b = -14


y=4x-14

Therefore, equation for the line that passes through (3, -2) and is parallel to the line
y=4x-3 is


y=4x-14
