Answer 1

option

B

Explanation:

for parallel lines the gradients needs to be the same therefore we are going to use the coordinates on the given graph the calculate the gradient therefore it's going to be the same gradient as the parallel line

y-y1 =m(x-x1)

m=gradient=3/4

y-(-5)=3/4(x-8)

y+5=3/4x-6

y=3/4x-6-5

y=3/4x-11
