Answer: an equation with the slope of 4

Step-by-step explanation: You haven't given options to choose from, but any equation with the same slope will be parallel.

So, start by converting 4x-y=7 into slope intercept form (y=mx+b, with m=slope and b=y-intercept)

(subtract 4 from both sides)

-y = -4x + 7

(multiply everything by -1 to make y positive)

y = 4x - 7

So, now you know the slope is 4.

The equation that also has a slope of 4 in the answer you are looking for.
