Answer:

y = 3x -2

Explanation:

If the line is parallel, that means it has the same slope. The given equation had a slope of 3, so the new line must also have a slope of 3.

You can plug the given coordinates into the slope-intercept form with a slope of 3 to find your answer.

y = m*x + b

7 = 3*3 + b

7 = 9 + b

-2 = b

y = 3x -2

I Hope This Helps :D
