Question

somebody please help! what is the equation of the line in standard form that passes through the point (-1,4) and is parallel to the line y=2x-3

Answer 1

the gradients of parallel lines are equal, thus the gradient of the unknown line is 2
the equation of the line in point-slope form is y=2(x-(-1))+4
y=2(x+1)+4
y=2x+6
rewrite in standard form: 2x-y=-6

Answer 2

ok ,, :) thanks

Answer 3

you're welcome :)
