the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is
y+=+highlight_green%28m%29x+%2B+highlight%28b%29 where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
3x - y = -3
0r y = 3x+3
Line parallel to the line y = 3x+3 and passing through the point (4, -2).
***Using point-slope form, y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+m%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29
y + 2 = 3(x-4)
y = 3x -14
0r....In Standard Form
3x - y = 14
