Answer:

D)

Explanation:

to solve this problem we need to know slope and one point

parallell lines have the same slope

we know the slope is 3/4 and the point is (-4,10)

plug the known data into the slope-intercept form of a line: y = mx + b

10 = 3/4(-4) + b

10 = -3 + b

b = 13

answer: y = 3/4x + 13
