Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = 3x + 6 and passes through the point (4, 7).

y = 3x - 5
y = -1/3x + 5
y = -3x - 19
y = -3x - 5
y = 1/3x - 5

Parallel lines have the same slope. The given line has slope 3, so the desired line is y = 3x + b.
Plug in (4,7): 7 = 3(4) + b → 7 = 12 + b → b = −5.
So the equation is y = 3x − 5.
