You can put this solution on YOUR website! find k so that the line through(-3,4) and (k,8) is A) parallel to 5x-4x=3
 --------
 X = -3
 It's a line parallel to the y-axis, thru the point (-3,0)
 k = -3
 ================
 B)5y-4x=3
 Find the slope, m
 Solve for y
 y = (4/5)x + 3/5
 m = 4/5
 ---
 m = diffy/diffx
 m = (4-8)/(-3-k) = 4/5
 4/(k+3) = 4/5
 4*(k+3) = 20
 k = 2
