Question

Write the equation for a line that passes through the point (-3, 5) and is parallel to

y = 3x - 4

Answer 1

Parallel lines have equivalent slopes, so since the slope of the given line is 3, the slope of the line we want to find is also 3.

Substituting into point-slope form,

`y-5=3(x+3)\\\\y-5=3x+9\\\\\boxed{y=3x+14}`
