Explanation:

Lets find the slope of the line first so we can write the equation.

Counting the slope, we can see the slope of the line is
(3)/(1) or 3, so we have to write the equation of the line in slope intercept form
y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

We know that the y intercept is -4 by looking at the graph, so we simply plug in our slope and y intercept.


y=3x-4

To tell if equations are parallel or perpendicular:

Parallel: The slope is the same

Perpendicular: The slope is the opposite reciprocal

Lets look at the equations and see if there parallel:

1.
y=-3x+10 is neither.

2. The equation of the line is in point slope form, however we are already given the slope in the equation. The slope is
-(1)/(3), which is the opposite reciprocal of 3, therefore it is perpendicular.

3.
(1)/(3) is not the opposite reciprocal of 3, it is neither.

4. The equation of the line is in standard form, which means we must solve for y to get it in slope intercept form


-3x+y=1
Subtract -3x on both sides


y=1-(-3x)

Simplify


y=3x+1

The equation has the same slope, so it is parallel.
