Answer:

y = 3x -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's parallel, it will have the same slope: 3.

So you'll have y = 3x + a, and we need to find a.

Plug in the values for the point we are given:

7 = 3(4) + a

7 = 12 + a

a = -5

So there you have it: y = 3x - 5

Answer:

y=3x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3x+6

since the line is parallel, the slope will be the same (but y int is still unsolved)

so plug in x,y from (4,7) in y=mx+b or y-y1=m(x-x1)

i used y=mx+b

7=3(4)+b

7=12+b

b=(-5)

so the final answer is y=3x-5
