Point-Slope Form:
We have the point ((2, -3)) through which the parallel line passes.
Use the point-slope formula: [y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)] where (m) is the slope and
((x_1, y_1)) is the given point.
Substitute Values:
Plug in the slope (-2) and the point ((2, -3)): [y - (-3) = -2(x - 2)] Simplify: [y + 3
= -2x + 4]
Final Equation:
Therefore, the equation of the straight line parallel to (2x + y = 6) and passing
through the point ((2, -3)) is (y = -2x + 1).
