Answer:

The slope of the line parallel to the given line is 3/4

Explanation:

Given the line

[tex]y=\frac{3}{4}x-2[/tex]

The line parallel to the above has the same slope 3/4 but different y-intercept.

It is in the form:

[tex]y=\frac{3}{4}x+b[/tex]

Where x and y are the coordinates of the point (-4, -1) and b is the y-intercept.

Using x = -4, and y = -1, we can obtain the value of b.

[tex]-1=\frac{3}{4}(-4)+b[/tex][tex]-1=-3+b[/tex]

Add 3 to both sides

[tex]b=2[/tex]

Therefore, the equation is:

[tex]y=\frac{3}{4}x+2[/tex]
