Answer:

y = 3x + 3

Explanation:

When two lines are parallel, this means they have the same slope!

So, first, we are going to take the slope from the equation y = 3x - 11 and use it in our new equation

SLOPE = 3

Next, we use the point-slope formula to make a new equation for the coordinate (4,9) ⇒ x = 4 and y = 9

Point-slope equation = y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

Let's plug in and solve!

y - 9 = 3 ( x - 4 )

Simplify to turn it into INTERCEPT FORM !

y - 9 = 3x - 12

y = 3x + 3

This is the final answer!

I hope I helped! Let me know if you have any questions about my answer! :)
