Answer:

y = 2x - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 2x + 3 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 2

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To fid c substitute (5, - 4) into the partial equation

- 4 = 10 + c ⇒ c = - 4 - 10 = - 14

y = 2x - 14 ← equation of parallel line
