Answer 4

first we need to find the slope of the line 4x - 3y = -12. The reason we do this is because a parallel line will have the same slope. Do you know how to find the slope of the equation ?

Answer 5

Kind of

Answer 6

in y = mx + b form, the slope is in the m position. So lets put the equation in y = mx + b form and find the slope.
4x - 3y = -12 --- subtract 4x from both sides
-3y = -4x - 12 --- now divide both sides by -3
y = 4/3x + 4
the number in the m position is 4/3...that is your slope

now we use y = mx + b
slope(m) = 4/3
(-3,4)...x = -3 and y = 4
now we sub and solve for b, the y intercept.
4 = 4/3(-3) + b
4 = -4 + b
4 + 4 = b
8 = b

so your parallel equation is : y = 4/3x + 8
