if the line is paralel to the line that contains the points (-3,8) and (-1,4), it will have the same slope
so we can calculate the slope using this two points:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (4-8)/(-1 -(-3)) = (4 - 8)/(-1 + 3) = -4/2 = -2
m = -2
And also we know that the line contains the point (2,3), using this point we can find the value of b:
y = mx + b
3 = (-2)(2) + b
3 = -4 + b
3 + 4 = b
b = 7
So the line equation with m = -2 and b = 7 is: y = -2x + 7
Answer: y = -2x + 7
