Answer:

y = 3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are parallel to each other, they have the same slope slopes.

The first line is y = 3x + 7. Its slope is 3. A line parallel to this one will also have a slope of 3.

Plug this value (3) into your standard point-slope equation of y = mx + b.

y = 3x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, it is (-4, -14). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

-14 = 3(-4) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x (-4)

-14 = -12 + b

Now, add 12 to both sides to isolate b.

-2 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = 3x - 2

This equation is parallel to your given equation (y = 3x + 7) and contains point (-4, -14)

Hope this helps!
