Find the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1, -2) and is parallel to the line y = -2x - 3.
..
Standard form for a straight line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
m=slope of parallel line, y=-2x-3,=-2
y=-2x+b
solving for b using (x,y) coordinates of given point (-1,-2)
-2=(-2)(-1)+b
-2=2+b
b=-4
Equation of line:
y=-2x-4
