Answer:

y - 3 = - 2(x + 1)

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given

y = - 2x - 5 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2

Parallel lines have equal slopes

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁ )

m is the slope and (x₁, y₁ ) a point on the line

here m = - 2 and (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 3 ) , then

y - 3 = - 2( x - (- 1) ) , that is

y - 3 = - 2(x + 1)
