determine the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y=3x+5 and passes through point (2,-4)
------------
The given line has slope = 3.
Any parallel line must have slope = 3
-----------------
Equation form is y = mx+b
Substitute to find "b":
-4 = 3*2+b
b = -10
-------------
EQUATION:
y = 3x-10
