Step 1 - solve the equation for y.
Y+=+3X-4
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.
step 3 - using y= mx+ b, substitute known information. We get
3+=+3%28-1%29+%2B+b
b+=+6
step 4 - write the equation:
Y+=+3X+%2B+6

y=3x+6 is in slope intercept form
standard form is ax+by=c
3x-y=-6
