Answer:

The equation "y = -4 x + 3" represents a line parallel to the line shown on the graph.

Explanation:

The line shown on the graph corresponds to the equation "y = -4 x + 8".

All linear functions with the same slope are represented by parallel lines.

The slope of the function of the graph is -4 and the slope function of the answer is -4, too. Therefore both of them represents parallel lines.

The function "y = 4 x - 1" has got different slope, so it represents a different line.
