    y = - 2x + 11

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The equation of a line in slope - intercept form is

    y = mx + c (m is the slope and c the y - intercept)

    Rearrange y + 2x = m into this form by subtracting 2x from both sides

    y = - 2x + m ← in slope - intercept form

    with slope m = - 2

    Parallel lines have equal slope, thus

    y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

    To find c substitute (4, 3) into the partial equation

    3 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = 3 + 8 = 11

    y = - 2x + 11 ← equation of line
