parallel means that the slope is the same , so the x and y coefficients don't change

the new line will have a different constant term (the +8)
___ you can find the new constant by plugging in the given point

4(-4) = 9(3) + k ___ -16 = 27 + k ___ -43 = k

the equation for the new line is ___ 4x = 9y - 43
