You don't have any of the answer choices listed, so I'm gonna do my best to help you rn.

Slope-intercept form is easiest (for me at least), so let's convert this equation first.

4y-8=3x

4y=3x+8

y=3/4x+2

To tell if a line is parallel, you have to look at the slope. In slope-intercept form, the equation shows you the slope: the coefficient of x. Here, the slope is 3/4, so any equation with a slope of 3/4 should be parallel. Make sure the slope is positive, because a negative slope could not be parallel with a positive one, like we have here.
