Answer :

hello!

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

Parallel lines have the same slope.

So if the given line has a slope of 3, then the line parallel to it has the same slope (3)

Now, let's write the equation of the line in Point-Slope Form.

Remember, point-slope form looks like so:-

[tex]\bigstar{\underline{\boxed{\pmb{y-y1=m(x-x1)}}}[/tex]

Where

y₁ is the y-coordinate of the point that the line passes through

m is the slope

x₁ is the x-coordinate of the point that the line passes through

In this case,

y₁ is equal to -8

m is equal to 3

x₁ is equal to 1

Plug in the values:

[tex]\longrightarrow\sf{y-(-8)=3(x-1)}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\longrightarrow\sf{y+8=3(x-1)}[/tex]

and we're done!
