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
