Answer:

y = x - 1

Explanation:

The given line is y = x - 4. Any line parallel to this one has an equation of the same form, though the constant will be different.

Substitute the coordinates of the given point (2, 3) into y = x - 4 and determine the value of b, which is the y-intercept:

3 = 2 - C

Then C = -1, and the desired equation is y = x - 1.
