What is the equation of a line parallel to y=(3)/(4)x-5 and passes through (12,-2)?

A parallel line has the same slope as the original line. So in this case the slope of the line is also 3/4. Now how do we know if it intersects the point? We need to adjust the y intercept.



Currently, we know the equation of the line is y= 3/4 x + b, where b is the thing we are looking for. We also have a point, which supplies the x and y. Plug that in and solve for b

-2 = (3/4)*(12) + b

You'll get b= -11

So the equation of the parallel line intersecting the point given is y= 3/4x -11.

I am assuming that the slope is 3/4 based on the way you formatted the original equation, but it's the same steps if the slope is different.
