What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (2, -3) and is parallel to the line y = 4x + 1?

✓ Correct Answer: Option A

Parallel lines have the same slope. The given line y = 4x + 1 has a slope of 4. Using the point-slope form y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), with (2, -3) and m=4: y - (-3) = 4(x - 2). This simplifies to y + 3 = 4x - 8, so y = 4x - 11.
