Answer

Point-slope form $ y-0=1(x+3)$. Slope-intercept form $y=x+3$.

Work Step by Step

The given parallel line equation is $\Rightarrow -x+y=7$ Isolate $y$. $\Rightarrow y=x+7$ This is the slope intercept form $y=mx+c$. Where, slope $m=1$. Two parallel lines have same slope. Hence, the slope of the required line is $m=1$. The given point is $(x_1,y_1)=(-3,0)$. The point-slope form is $\Rightarrow y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ Plug all values. $\Rightarrow y-0=1(x-(-3))$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y-0=1(x+3)$ Isolate $y$ in the above equation. $\Rightarrow y=1(x+3)$ Apply distributive property. $\Rightarrow y=x+3$ The above equation is the slope-intercept form.
