Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:
The slope of the line -2x+y = -3 is m1 =
- coefficient of x ÷ coefficient of y
= -(-2) ÷1
=2
Then, according to the question ;
It is stated that the lines are parallel
i.e.
m1=m2
or, 2 = m2
Hence, m2 =2
Again,
The required equation of the line passing through the point P(2,-2) = (x1,y1) is
y-y1 = m2(x- x1)
or, y-(-2) = 2(x-2)
or, y+2 = 2x-4
or, 2+4 = 2x-y
or, 2x-y = 6
Therefore; 2x-y = 6.
