You can put this solution on YOUR website!

the equation of the line, in standard form, that passes through
(4, -3) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 4x+%2B+y+-+2+=+0
recall: equations of the parallel lines have same slope
first write your equation in slope-intercept form
4x+%2B+y+-+2+=+0
+y+=+-4x%2B2-> slope is -4
equation of the parallel line will be:
y=-4x%2Bb......use given point (4, -3) to find b
-3=-4%2A4%2Bb
-3=-16%2Bb
16-3=b
b=13
so, your line is y=-4x%2B13
write it in standard form
4x%2By=13
and your answer is: B) 4x%2By=13
