Use the point-slope formula to find the equation. Y-Y1 = m(X-X1), where (X1,Y1) is the given ordered pair.


Note: Remember the thing that is special about the slopes of parallel lines.

Since the slope slope of the parallel line is 12, m=12. So, y-3 = 12(x-4). Then, y-3 = 12x-48. Finally, y = 12x -45.
