Answer:  y = 3x-15

===================================================

Explanation:

The slope of the blue line is m = 3 since y = 3x is really y = 3x+0. Compare this to y = mx+b.

Parallel lines have equal slopes. The red line will also have a slope of m = 3.

Plug in m = 3, x = 4 and y = -3 into y = mx+b and solve for b. The x and y values come from the point (4,-3)

-------

y = mx+b

-3 = 3(4)+b

-3 = 12+b

-3-12 = b

-15 = b

b = -15

Since m = 3 and b = -15, this means y = mx+b turns into y = 3x-15
