Answer:

y = -2x + 11

Explanation:

When two lines are parallel, their gradients are the same. So the gradient of the line parallel to this equation will be -2 as well.

Now we substitute values from this point to find the rest of the equation :

y = -2x + c

3 = -2(4) + c

3 = -8 + c

c = 11

So the equation of the line parallel will be y = -2x + 11

Hope this helped and have a good day
