1 y = 4 x + 4
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 1
\n" ); document.write( " y = 4 x + 4
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = 4
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of the required line will be 4
\n" ); document.write( "m= 4 ,point ( 3 , -5 )
\n" ); document.write( "Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "-5 = 12 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= -17
\n" ); document.write( "m= 4
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and b in y = mx +b
\n" ); document.write( "The required equation is y = 4 x -17
\n" ); document.write( "
