See explanation.

Explanation:

The lines are parallel if their slopes are equal, so to calculate slope of a line parallel to a given one you have to calculate the given line's slope.

$3 x + 4 y = 12$ $3x+4y=12$

$4 y = - 3 x + 12$ $4y=-3x+12$

$y = - \frac{3}{4} x + 3$ $y=-3/4x+3$

Answer:

The given line and all lines parallel to it hve a slope $m = - \frac{3}{4}$ $m=-3/4$
