    y = 4x + 7

    This equation is in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope of this line is 4. Parallel lines have the same slope, thus a line not parallel to this line will not have a slope of 4. Let's check which of these lines does not have a slope of 4.

    y - 4x = 9

    y = 9 + 4x (add 4x to both sides)

    y = 4x + 9 (switch the constant and x-term)

    This line has a slope of 4.

    4x - y = 8

    -y = 8 - 4x (subtract 4x from both sides)

    y = - 8 + 4x (divide both sides by - 1)

    y = 4x - 8 (switch the constant and x-term)

    This line has a slope of 4.

    4y - x = 8

    4y = 8 + x (add x to both sides)

    y = 8/4 + x/4 (divide both sides by 4)

    y = x/4 + 2 (simplify and switch constant and x-term)

    This line has a slope of 1/4. It is thus not parallel to the line y = 4x + 7.

    Answer:

    4y - x = 8
