Answer:

y = 3x -8

Explanation:

The equation of the given line is in slope-intercept form ...

y = mx + b

Matching that equation to this pattern, you see the slope is ...

m = 3

The parallel line will have the same slope.

If you rearrange the above equation, you find ...

b = y - mx

For the given point and slope, the new y-intercept will be ...

b = 4 - 3(4) = -8

The equation you want is ...

y = 3x -8
