Answer:

y = 3x + 20

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

• Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (- 8, - 4 ) into the partial equation

- 4 = - 24 + c ⇒ c = - 4 + 24 = 20

y = 3x + 20 ← equation of parallel line
