Answer: y = 2x+11

----------------------------------------------

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line y = 2x-4 has a slope of m = 2 as it is in the form y = mx+b
m = slope
b = y intercept

Anything parallel to the given line will also have a slope of m = 2 as well. Parallel lines have equal slopes.

The given point is (x,y) = (-3,5) so x = -3 and y = 5 pair up

We will plug m = 2, x = -3 and y = 5 into the equation below and solve for b
y = m*x+b
5 = 2*(-3)+b
5 = -6+b
5+6 = -6+b+6 ... add 6 to both sides
11 = b
b = 11

Because m = 2 and b = 11, this means we have y = mx+b update to y = 2x+11 which is the final answer
