Write the equation of a line, in slope-intercept form, that is parallel to the line -12x+3y=23 , and passes through the point (2,-3).
----
Find slope of given line::
y = (12/3)x + (23/3)
----
slope = 4
-------
slope of parallel line:: 4
--------
Form:: y = mx + b
Solve for "b"::
-3 = 4*2 + b
b = -11
------
Ans: y = 4x -11
