Write an equation for a line parallel to y = 3 x + 3 and passing through the point (1,4)

Answer 1

If the new line is parallel, then it will have the same slope.

1. y = 3x + b
2. passes through this point (x,y) (1,4) so you just plug in the x and y values into the equation above, solve for b and then put that into the equation above.
3. 4 = 3(1) + b; b = 1
4. y = 3(x) + 1
