         What is the S.I. form of the equation that passes through (-6,3) and is parallel to y=2x-3?

[tex]\diamond\large\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}}[/tex]

    Parallel lines have the same slope.

[tex]\bigstar[/tex] The line y=2x-3 has a slope of 2, therefore, the line parallel to it has a slope of 2.

Now let's write the equation of the new line in point-slope form:-

[tex]\sf{y-y_1=m(x-x_1)}[/tex]

Replace y1 with -3, m with 2, and then write -6 in lieu of x1:-

[tex]\sf{y-(-3)=2(x-(-6)}[/tex]

On simplification,

[tex]\sf{y+3=2(x+6)}[/tex]

On further simplification,

[tex]\sf{y=2x+12-3}[/tex]

Which results in:-

[tex]\sf{y=2x-9}[/tex]
