Answer:

y = 2x -1

Explanation:

when a two lines are parallel to each other that means they have the same slope.

you use point slope formula to find a line with the same slope and passes through (2,3)

y - y' = m(x - x') is the general form so you plug in (2,3) and the slope and you get

y - 3 = 2(x -2)

first your distribute the 2 into the parenthesis and you get

y-3 = 2x -4

now add 3 to both sides

y = 2x -1
