Answer: y = 23x - 62

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope.

y = 23x + 4

m=23 b=4

Input x = 3, y = 7, & m = 23 into the Point-Slope formula to find the equation or the Slope-Intercept formula to find b (you already have m). I will choose the latter.

y = mx + b

7 = 23(3) + b

7 = 69 + b

-62 = b

m = 23, b = -62 --> y = 23x - 62
