Answer

The function of the graph passing through the point $\left( 3,\ -4 \right)$ and parallel to the line $3x-y-5=0$ is $y=3x-13$.

Work Step by Step

The equation of the line is $y-{{y}_{1}}=m\left( x-{{x}_{1}} \right)$, where the point $\left( {{x}_{1}},\ {{y}_{1}} \right)=\left( 3,\ -4 \right)$. The value of the slope $m=\frac{{{y}_{2}}-{{y}_{1}}}{{{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}}}$. The equation is parallel to the line $y=3x-5$; the slope of the equation is $m=3$. So, the equation is passing through the point $\left( {{x}_{1}},\ {{y}_{1}} \right)=\left( 3,\ -4 \right)$ is $\begin{align} & y-{{y}_{1}}=m\left( x-{{x}_{1}} \right) \\ & y+4=3\left( x-3 \right) \\ & y=3x-9-4 \\ & =3x-13 \end{align}$
