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? Algebra Forms of Linear Equations Equations of Parallel Lines 1 Answer ali ergin Apr 15, 2016 #color(red)(y=2x+6)# Explanation: #"both the two line have the same slope"# #"for the Line y= "color(blue)(2)x-3" "slope=2" # #"for the red line"# #slope=2=(y-4)/(x+1)# #2x+2=y-4# #y=2x+2+4# #color(red)(y=2x+6)# Answer link Related questions Are two lines with the same slope and y intercept considered to be parallel?
