If the line is parallel to y = -3/4 x + 1/4 then the slope is -3/4
the form of an equation is y = mx +b
In this case m = -3/4
Using the point given (4, -2) we will find the value of b:
y = mx + b
y = -3/4 x + b
Using the values of the point (4, -2).... x = 4 and y = -2
-2 = (-3/4)(4) + b
Solving for b:
-2 = -3 + b
-2 + 3 = b
1 = b
b = 1
Therefore the equation would be:
y = (-3/4)x + 1
Answer:
y = (-3/4)x + 1
