Answer:

y = -2x + 5

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope, so the line's slope would be -2.

Because we have a coordinate point and the slope of the line, we can figure out the equation by using the point slope formula:

( y - y1 ) = m( x - x1 )

( y - ( - 3 ) ) = -2 ( x - 4 )

y + 3 = -2x + 8

y = -2x + 5

The equation of the line is y = -2x + 5
