----------
Find the slope, m of the line.
(y-11) = m*(x-2)
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x-4y= 6
-4y=-x+6
y = (-x+6)/-4
y = (1/4)x -6/4
The slope is (1/4). The equation you are looking for has the same slope because the line is parallel.
Plug the point and the slope (1/4) into the point-slope formula. Solve the equation for y and your answer will be the equation that is parallel to the given equation.
