When two lines are parallel their slopes are equal. Hence slope of the required line is 4
Let the equation of line be y= mx+c where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.
We just obtained that m=4
So y=4x+c
Now it is given that the point (-3,7) satisfies the equation as the line passes through it. So
7=4(-3)+c
7+12=c
so, c=19
put the value in the equation y=mx+c So the required equation is :
y=4x+19
