Answer:

3x-y=10

Explanation:

"In case you need to know, I used point-slope form, which involves using the formula y-y1=m(x-x1), in which you use a point like (4,2) and the slope, which we know is 3x since it's parallel to the original line. Simplifying and bringing it to standard form such as Ax+By=C. Ax has to be positive, which is why -3x went to positive, and y and -10 switched signs." Not my words. steps in attachment
