<PRE><B>Question 550933</B>
the slope of a line is determined by the ratio of the x and y coefficients
a parallel line has the same slope, so the same coefficients can be used


the thing that changes is the position of the line in the coordinate system
that is determined by the constant term ___ 8 in this case


to find the new constant term for the parallel line, substitute the given point into the equation


3x + 4y = ? ___ 3(4) + 4(-3) = ?</PRE>
