\huge\boxed{\sf{Hi\;there!}}

Parallel lines have the same slope.

The given line has a slope of 3, therefore, the line parallel to the given line has a slope of 3.

Now, we have the slope of the line and a point that it passes through.

So, we can use the Point-Slope formula:


\bigstar
\sf{y-y1=m(x-x1


\bigstar
\sf{y-4=3(x-0)


\bigstar
\sf {y-4=3x


\bigstar
\sf {y=3x+4


\huge\boxed{\boxed{Answer:\;y=3x+4}}}
