The given line is .

Slope - intercept form .

Slope of the given line is () = .

Slope of the parallel line is .

Because you know the slope and a point on the line,

Use point - slope form to write an equation of the line.

Let =   and slope() = .

    (Substitute 3 for , 4 for and = )

Rewrite in slope - intercept form .

                  (Product of two same signs is positive)

      (Multiply each side  by 3)

               (Cancel common terms)

Using distributive property:

                         (Multiply:)

Apply to subtraction property of equality: a = b then a c = b c.

             (Subtract 9 from each side)

                    (Apply additive inverse property: )

                          (Apply additive identity property: )

                              (Subtract: )

                       (Divide each side by 3)

                           (Cancel common terms)

The equation of the line is  .
