slope of the given equation ?::
y = (-3/4)x + 2
slope = -3/4
----
Find equation of line with slope = -3/4 passing thru (2,3).
y = mx+b
3 = (-3/4)*2 + b
b = 3+(3/2)
b = 9/2
Ans:: y = (-3/4)x+(9/2)

find an equation of the line passing through the (2,3) and parallel to the line with equation 3x+4y-8=0

4y = -3x + 8
y = -(3/4)x + 8 <— slope is -3/4, parallel line will have the same slope
——
Equation of parallel line (I like slope intercept form so I will write it that way):
y - 3 = -(3/4)(x - 2)

The part, 3x+4y will stay the same, because, "parallel".
