In order for two lines to be parallel, the slope of the equations have to be the same. y = 3/4x + 7 —> 3/4 is the slope. For the new equation, the line has to go through (-12,36) which means that the y- intercept has to be 36. The new equation would be y = 3/4x + 36. Here is a graph to prove my point. The red one is the original, the blue one is the one parallel to the original. Hope this helped:$
