Answer 1

`\displaystyle y - 4 = -2(x - 5)`

Explanation:

Parallel equations have SIMILAR RATE OF CHANGES [SLOPES], so −2 remains as is as you proceed with plugging the information into the Point-Slope Formula:

`\displaystyle [5, 4] \\ \\ \boxed{y - 4 = -2(x - 5)}`

**Remember, all negative symbols give you the OPPOCITE TERMS OF WHAT THEY REALLY ARE, so make sure both operation symbols are correct.

Answer 2

y - 4 = -2(x - 5)

Explanation:

point slope form is y-y1 = m(x-x1)

the original equation is given in slope intercept form y = mx + b

Parallel lines have equal slopes so from the given equation y = -2x-3

the slope m = -2.

Use the given point (5,4) as (x1, y1).

y - 4 = -2(x - 5)
