Explanation:

parallel: -2

y - 3 = -2(x + 2)

y - 3 = -2x - 4

y = -2x - 1

\textsf{Parallel lines have the same slope. Since the slope of the given line is -2,}\\\textsf{The slope of the line that is parallel to \textbf{y=-2x+3} is also -2.}


\textsf{Next, we need to use the \textbf{Point-slope form} equation to find the}\\\textsf{ required equation of the line.}


\textsf{Point-slope form:}


  • \sf{y-y_1=m(x-x_1)}


\bold{\underline{Setting\:the\:values:}}


  • \sf{y_1=3}

  • \sf{m=-2}

  • \sf{x_1=-2}


\bold{\underline{Plugging\:in\:the\:values:}}


  • \sf{y-y_1=m(x-x_1)}

  • \sf{y-3=-2(x-(-2)}

  • \sf{y-3=-2(x+2)}

  • \sf{y-3=-2x-4}

  • \sf{y=-2x-4+3}

  • \sf{y=-2x-1}

  • \textsf{Done! Our answer is y=-2x-1.}
