The equation of a line is in the form:
y = mx + c

Parallel lines have the same gradient.

Therefore, y = -3/2x + c

To work out c, we simply substitute the x value coordinate and the y value coordinate into the equation.

So, -4 = -3/2(0) + c

-4 = 0 + c

c = -4

A line parallel to y = -3/2x + 1 would be:

y = -3/2x - 4
