Answer:
3x -7y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope.
Changing the constant in a linear equation like this only changes the y-intercept. It has no effect on the slope of the line. So, we can change the constant from 4 to 0 and we will have a line with the same slope, parallel to the original, but with a different y-intercept.
The "standard form" of the equation of a line has the leading coefficient positive. We can make that be the case by using the multiplication property of equality, multiplying both sides of the equation by -1.
Parallel line:
-3x +7y = 0
In standard form:
3x -7y = 0
