You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find an equation of the line in point slope form that passes through (4,3) and is parallel to the line 3x - y = 7.
------------------
Parallel lines have the same slope.
Find the slope, m, of 3x-y = 7 by putting it in slope-intercept form (that means solve for y).
y = 3x-7
m = 3
---------
Then use
y = mx+b with the point (4,3)
3 = 3*4 + b
b = -9
-----------
y = 3x-9
