Write the equation of the line that passes through (-4,3) and is parallel to y = -2x - 8.

y = -2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation if the line be y = mx + c

since the line is parallel to y = -2x - 8, their gradients/slope must be the same (aka m = -2)

sub (-4, 3):

3 = -2(-4) + c

c = -5

therefore, the equation of the line is y = -2x - 5
