Answer:

The answer is option D

Explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

y = 2x + 4

comparing with the above equation for a line

The slope / m = 2

Since the lines are parallel their slope are also the same

Slope of parallel line = 2

So we have

The equation of the line using point

( 3 , -2) and slope 2 is

y + 2 = 2( x - 3)

y + 2 = 2x - 6

y = 2x - 6 - 2

We have the final answer as

y = 2x - 8

Hope this helps you
