Question 20890
well since parallel lines have the same slope we know that the new line has a slope of 3/4 so now we can either solve the equation  y=mx+b for b and then plug in or use the point slope formula.

solving for b we get

y=mx+b where m=3/4 x=2 and y=1

1=3/4(2)+b
1 = 3/2+b
-1/2 = b

y=3/4x-1/2

using point-slope form you get

y-y1=m(x-x1) where m=3/4 y1=1 and x1=2

y-1=3/4(x-2)
y=3/4x-3/2+1
y=3/4x-1/2

*Note point slope form becomes very important in later math courses and is very helpeful for calculus so keep that in mind.
