Can you find the point-slope equation of the line that is parallel to y = -2x - 3 that passes through (0, 5)?

Answer:

y= -2x + 5

Explanation:

Parallel equations share the same slope so, you need to take the x coordinate and multiply it by the slope which is -2, and you should get 0. To get from 0 to 5 we need to add 5, so 5 is your y-intercept.
