Step 1 - solve the equation for y.
\n" ); document.write( "\"Y+=+3X-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "step 2 - parallel means same slope. SO find the slope of the equation from step 1 and that is the slope you want. slope = 3.
\n" ); document.write( "step 3 - using y= mx+ b, substitute known information. We get
\n" ); document.write( "\"3+=+3%28-1%29+%2B+b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b+=+6\"
\n" ); document.write( "step 4 - write the equation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"Y+=+3X+%2B+6\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
