Answer

$$ y=-x+5.$$

Work Step by Step

Since the line is parallel to the line given by $ y = 4-x $, then its slope is $-1$; hence the line has the equation $$ y=-x+c.$$ To find $ c $, we make use of the fact that the line passes through $(2,3)$: $$3=-2+c\Longrightarrow c=5$$ Hence the equation of the line is $$ y=-x+5.$$
