y = 3/4x -4
The slope is 3/4 since it is written in the form y =mx+b where m is the slope
We want a line that is parallel so it will have the same slope
We know the slope of the new line (3/4) and a point (-1,7)
So we can use the point slope form of the equation
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-7 = 3/4(x--1)
y-7=3/4(x+1)
