What is the equation of the line, in standard form, that passes through (4, -3) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 4x + y - 2 = 0?

4 x + y = 13
4 x + y = -13
4 x - y = 13

Given:

The equation of parallel line is


4x+y-2=0

The required line passes through the point (4,-3).

To find:

The equation of required line is standard form.

Solution:

The standard form of a line is


Ax+By=C

Where, A,B,C are constants and the slope of the line is
-(A)/(B).

The given equation is


4x+y-2=0

Here,
A=4,B=1,C=2. So, the slope of the line is


m=-(4)/(1)


m=-4

Slopes of parallel lines are equal. So, the slope of the required line is -4

The required line passes trough the point (4,-3) with slope -4. So, the equation of the required line is


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)


y-(-3)=-4(x-4)


y+3=-4x+16

Isolate variable terms.


4x+y=16-3


4x+y=13

Therefore, the correct option is A.
