You can put this solution on YOUR website! equation of the line that passes through (5, 3) and is parallel to the line
y = -2x + 2
Since the given line has a slope of -2 the parallel line
must have a slope of -2.
----
Equation Form:
y = mx + b
--
You have x,y and m; solve for "b":
3 = -2*5 + b
b = 3+10
b = 13
----
Equation you want:
y = -2x+13
