find the equation of the line which passes through the point ( -2, 1 ) and is parallel to the straight line with the equation 2x - y - 3 = 0?
============
2x - y - 3 = 0
To find the slope, convert to slope-intercept form.
That means solve for y.
---
2x - y - 3 = 0
y = 2x - 3
The slope, m, is the coefficient of x.
m = 2
-----
Parallel lines have the same slope. 2, in this case.
---
An equation, not "the equation," is y - y1 = m*(x - x1)
(x1,y1) is (-2,1) PS don't put spaces in the points.
----
y - 1 = 2*(x + 2)
You can change the format.
y = 2x + 5
Same thing.

the equation of the line which passes through the point ( , ) and is parallel to the straight line with the equation :
recall: parallel lines have same slope
...write in slope-intercept form to see what is a slope
=> a slope is , so parallel line will have same slope
equation is so far
now use given point ( , ) and find
then, your equation is
