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
or 3, so we have to write the equation of the line in slope intercept form
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.

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.
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
, which is the opposite reciprocal of 3, therefore it is perpendicular.
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

Subtract -3x on both sides

Simplify

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