You can put this solution on YOUR website! find a equation of the line that passes through the point (-1,3) and is parallel to the line passing through the points (-2,-1) and (4,3)
...
slope of line = 3-(-1) / 4-(-2)
m=4/6
m=2/3
...
the required line is parallel so slope will be same.
m=2/3 point (-1,3)
find b first
y = mx+b
plug x,y,m
3=-1*2/3 +b
3=-2/3 +b
b=3+(2/3)
LCM = 3
b=(9+2)/3
b=11/3
...
y= -2x/3 +11/3
