First, I would simplify the given equation to find the slope of the parallel line as it will be the same for the line we are looking for. 3y=x+12 y=(x/3)+4
Slope= 1/3
Our equation now looks close, but we need the intercept. y=(x/3)+B
Plug in the given point to find the intercept. 3=(-1/3)+B 4/3=B
Plug all the known values into the equation to complete the slope-intercept form. y=(x/3)+4/3
