Answer:

  • y = 3x - 17

========================

Given line

  • y = 3x - 8

Parallel lines have equal slopes, so its equation is in the form of:

  • y = 3x + b

Since it passes through the points (4 , - 5), find the value of the y-intercept b by substituting x- and y- coordinates into this equation:

  • - 5 = 3*4 + b
  • - 5 = 12 + b
  • b = -5 - 12
  • b = - 17

The equation of the parallel line is:

  • y = 3x - 17
