SOLUTION: Complete the equation of the line parallel to y=3x+7 that goes through the point (5,-4).

Question 667948: Complete the equation of the line parallel to y=3x+7 that goes through the point (5,-4).
Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A parallel line has the same slope
...
y = 3x+7 has a slope of 3
...
Using the point (5, -4) and slope 3 to calculate the y intercept of the parallel line,
-4 = 3(5) + b
-4 = 15 + b
b = -4 - 15 = -19
...

...
Red line: y = 3x-19
Green line: y = 3x+7
...
