write an equation that represents a line passing through the point (-2,6) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 3x-4y=6?
----
slope of the given equation:: (3/4)
slope of the parallel line:: (3/4)
------------
Form of the equation: y = mx + b
---
Solve for "b'
6 = (3/4)(-2) + b
6 = (-3/2) + b
b = 15/2
----
Equation:
y = (3/4)x + (15/2)
