Answer: y = 3x - 4 will be the parallel line to the line y= 3x -1

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope but different y intercepts, so using the equation given , use the formula y=mx +b where m is the slope and b is the

y - intercept ,and input the x and y coordinate to solve for b. Input the same slope into the formula because they will have the same slope.

5= 3(3) + b

5 = 9 + b

-9 -9

b = -4

Since the y intercept is negative 4, the equation will be y = 3x -4
