y = -1

Step 1) Substitute the slope from original line (3 in this case) into the equation of the line 	y = 3x +b
Step 2) Substitute the given point (1,7) into the x and y values 	7 = 3(1) +b
Step 3) Solve for b (the y-intercept) 	work
Step 4) Substitute this value for 'b' in the slope intercept form equation 	y = 3x + 4
