    The line that's already there: - 4x + 3y = 12

    Add 4x to each side: 3y = 4x + 12

    Divide each side by 3 : y = 4/3 x + 4

    The line that's already there has a slope of 4/3.

    Any line parallel to it has the same slope but different y-intercept.

    If the new line passes through the origin, then its y-intercept is zero.

    The equation of the new line is y = 4/3 x

    Slope of given line is m=-a/b = 4/3

    So searched equation is:

    y-0=4/3 (x-0)

    y = 4/3x
