Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 3x - y = -3 and passes through the point (4, -2). (2 points)

y = - 1/3x - 14
y = - 1/3 x - 6
y = 3x - 6
y = 3x - 14

Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 3x - y = -3 and passes through the point (4, -2). (2 points)
 	
	y = -  1/3x - 14
	y = - 1/3 x - 6
	y = 3x - 6
	y = 3x - 14

i got y=3x-12

"parallel to the line 3x - y = -3 " we need to have it in the form y = mx + b
to figure out the slope 
-y = -3x - 3
y = 3x + 3

so we know that the slope is 3
now create a line that passes through (4,-2)
y - (-2) = 3(x - 4)
y + 2 = 3x - 12
y = 3x - 14
