Answer:

y = -3x + 12

Explanation:

The slope of parallel line is the same as the original line.

If the x-intercept is 4, this as a point can be stated as (4, 0)

We can now solve for the y-intercept.

y = -3x + b

0 = -3(4) + b

0 = -12 + b

12 = b

Put everything we solved for back into the formula [ y = mx + b ]

y = -3x + 12

Best of Luck!
