Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x - 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = $\frac{3}{4}$

Parallel lines have equal slopes

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

Here (a, b ) = (- 1, 7 ) , then

y - 7 = $\frac{3}{4}$ (x - (- 1) ) , that is

y - 7 = $\frac{3}{4}$ (x + 1) → A
