You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if its parallel then it has the same slope of -3/4
so right out the point slope form
y=mx%2Bb plug in what u have to find the intercept
2=%28-3%2F4%29%284%29%2Bb
2=%28-3%29%2Bb
5=b rewrite ur line with the slope ond intercept
y=%28-3%2F4%29x%2B5 theres your line
