Answer:

y = 7x+13

Explanation:

y = 7x+3

Lines that are parallel have the same slope, and this line is in slope intercept form, y = mx +b where m is the slope.

The slope is 7

y = 7x+b

Using the given point ( -3,-8) and using point slope form, y-y1 = m(x-x1) where (x1 and y1) is the point and the line

y- -8 =7(x--3)

y+8 = 7(x+3)

Distribute

y+8 = 7x+21

Subtract 8 from each side

y+8-8 = 7x+21-8

y = 7x+13
