Given:

The point is (-2,3).

The parallel line is y=4x+2.

This is of the form


y=mx+b_1

where slope m=4.

We know that the slope of the parallel lines is equal.

Thus we get the slope m =4 for the required line.

Consider the line equaiton


y=mx+b

Substitute x= -2,y=3, and m =4 in the equation to find the value of b.


3=4(-2)+b


3=-8+b

Adding 8 on both sides of the equation, we get


3+8=-8+b+8


11=b

We get b=11.

Substitute m=4 and b=11 in the equation, we get


y=4x+11

Hence the line equation that passes through the point (-2,3) and parallel to y=4x+2 is


y=4x+11
