Find the equation of the line parallel to \"3x+%2B+4y+=+20\" and at a distance of \"5\" units from this line.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+4y+=+-3x%2B20\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+-%283%2F4%29x%2B20\"-> a slope is \"-%283%2F4%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the line parallel to given line will have same slope\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-%283%2F4%29%2Bb\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since given that a distance of \"5\" units from this line, means y-intercept \"b\" will be \"5\" more (which is \"25\") or less (which is \"15\") than y-intercept of given line\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, the equation of the line parallel to \"3x+%2B+4y+=+20\" will be\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-%283%2F4%29x%2B25\"
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-%283%2F4%29x%2B15\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
