what is the equation of a straight line that goes through the point (0-4) and is parallel to the straight line y = 3x
-----
slope of the given line:: m = 3
-----
Form of desired equation:
y = mx + b
------
Using y = -4, x = 0, m = 3, solve for "b":
-4 = 3*0 + b
b = -4
---------
Equation:
y = 3x - 4
