Answer:

[tex]y=2x+1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Write an equation in point-slope of the line passing through point A and parallel to line B

[tex]y-y1=m(x-x1)[/tex]

Remember that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal

In this problem the slope of the given line is m=2

That means

The slope of the parallel line is also m=2

we have

[tex]m=2\\point\ A(1,3)[/tex]

substitute

[tex]y-3=2(x-1)[/tex]

step 2

Convert to slope intercept form

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

we have

[tex]y-3=2(x-1)[/tex]

isolate the variable y

[tex]y=2x-2+3[/tex]

[tex]y=2x+1[/tex]
