write n equation of the line contaning the given point and parallel to the given line
-------------
Find the slope, m, of the line by putting it into slope-intercept form y = mx+b
x+4y=3
y = (-1/4)x + 3/4
m = -1/4
--------
Parallel lines have the same slope.
Usy y = mx + b to find b using the point.
8 = (-1/4)*6 + b
b = 19/2
---------
y = (-1/4)x + 19/2
