Question 708628: find the equation of the line that is parallel to the equation: 3y=4x-15, and contain the point(6,1)

Slope is the same, so you will have something constant other than the "-15".

3y=4x+c, and we do not know c until we apply the point which this line contains.
3(1)=4(6)+c
c=3-24
c=-21,
The new line we want is 3y=4x-21
