Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the given equation.

akshay_budhkar · Answer

ok if the line is parallel then the slope remains the same, so the slope is 2. 
So the equation of the new line is $$y=2x +b$$

now it passes through (-1,3) so substitute to get the value of b

$$3=-2+b$$
$$b=5$$

so your equation is $$y=2x+5$$
