Answer:

Explanation:

because the new line is parallel, it will have the same slope as the original equation.

slope

=

3

we know the slope and a point, so we can use the point slope formula:

y

y

1

=

m

(

x

x

1

)

y

1

is the y coodinate,

x

1

is the x coordinate,

and m is the slope

plug the values in

y

+

2

=

3

(

x

+

5
