Answer:
y = -3x +20
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of line: y =mx + b
Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
3x + y = 17
Write the above equation in y = mx +b form.
y = -3x + 17
m = -3
Parallel lines have same slope.
So, slope of the required line is (-3).
y = -3x + b
This line is passing through (4,8). Substitute in the above equation and find the value of 'b'.
8 = -3*4 + b
8 = -12 + b
8 + 12 = b
b = 20
Equation of the line:
