Answer:

y = x + 3

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

y = x + 7 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m =

Parallel lines have equal slopes

line M crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3

y = x + 3 ← equation of line M
