Answer:

option b, y = 3/4x - 11

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope,

slope = rise / run where the rise is 3 and the run is 4

slope = 3/4

The line is in a upwards trend making the slope positive making choice c and d incorrect

The line passes through (8, -5)

y = 3/4x + b, (x, y)

-5 = 3/4(8) + b

-5 = 6 + b

-5 - 6 = 6 - 6 + b

-5 - 6 = b

-11 = b

y = 3/4x - 11
