Answer:

The equation of the parallel line 2x +y -4=0

Explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that the equation of the straight line y = -2x -9

2x + y +9=0

Given that the Point (-3,10)

Step(ii):-

Equation of the parallel line to the given line

ax +by +k=0

Now , The equation of the parallel line

2x + y +k =0

this line is passes through the point (-3,10)

2(-3)+10+k=0

⇒ 4 +k=0

⇒ k = -4

Final answer:-

The equation of the parallel line 2x +y -4=0
