Question 1123598: Please help me find an equation of the straight line that passes through the point (2,3) and is parallel to the line with equation 3x+4y-8=0 Found 2 solutions by solver91311, josgarithmetic:Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Calculate the slope of the given line by taking the additive inverse of the quotient of the coefficient on divided by the coefficient on .
Use the slope of the given line and the coordinates of the given point to derive the desired equation using the Point-Slope form of an equation of a line:
Where is the calculated slope and are the coordinates of the given point.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
You can put this solution on YOUR website! *****
straight line that passes through the point (p,v) and is parallel to the line with equation Ax+By+C=0
*****
The part of expression stays the same.
Only C changes, according to the point that the line must include.
