Answer:

y = (3/5)x - 3

Explanation:

If 3x = 4 + 5y, then

5y = 3x - 4

y = (3/5)x - 4/5

*** The given equation's slope is (3/5). For the new line to be parallel to the old one, it must have the same slope or 'slant', 3/5.

*** The requested y-intercept is -3.

For y = mx + b, 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept.

The answer should be y = (3/5)x - 3 in 'y = mx + b' slope-intercept form.
