Answer:

y=3x-13

Explanation:

Since the parallel equations have equal slope.

The equation of line parallel to y=3x+7 will be y=3x+k.

(4,-1) lies in the line so it satisfies the equation amd we get the value of k as -13 and finally we substitute the value of k in the eqn and we finally get the equation as 3x-y-13=0 or you can also write it as y=3x-13
