When a line is parallel to another, the slope will always be identical. The only difference will be the position of the y-intercept.

In this case, we can already set up our equation as y = 3/4x

To find what we need the y-intercept to be, we can observe the point our new line must pass through, which is (-4, 1)

By applying the slope, we can find the y-intercept.

Rise 3, run 4.

-4 + 4 = 0

1 + 3 = 4

Our y-intercept is 4, and so our new equation is:

y = 3/4x + 4
