Answer: A

A. y=-4x-2. Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope. In this case, the line given by y = -4x + 3 has a slope of -4, so the equation of the line that is parallel to it must also have a slope of -4. The equation y = -4x - 2 has a slope of -4, so it is the equation of a line that is parallel to the line given by y = -4x + 3.
