Answer:

The equation of the parallel line to the given line

y = 2 x - 16

Explanation:

Step(i):-

Given equation of the straight line y = 2 x +10

2x - y + 10 =0

The equation of the parallel line to the given line is

a x + by + k=0

The equation of the parallel line to the given line is

2x - y + k=0

Step(ii):-

Given point ( 6,-4)

The equation of the parallel line to the given line is

2x - y + k=0

This line passing through the point ( 6,-4)

2(6) - (-4)+ k=0

12 + 4 +k =0

16 + k=0

k = -16

Final answer:-

The equation of the parallel line to the given line

y = 2 x - 16
