Slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + b
"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)
(there is probably another way to do this, but I will be doing it this way)
Isolate the "y" in the equation
3x + 4y = 12 Subtract 3x on both sides
4y = 12 - 3x Divide 4 on both sides
or 
The slope is -3/4
For lines to be parallel, they have to have the SAME slope. The given line's slope is -3/4, so the slope of the parallel line is also 
Answer: Y=-3x+5

Answer
There are 170 ways the student can answer the test.
Explanation
If there are 20 multiple-choice questions with 5 choices each, the student has 100 choices. The first question has 5 choices to pick from. The second has 5 as well. So does the third. Hopefully now you realize that you have to multiply the number of choices by the number of questions.
The same thing goes with the true/false questions. There are 2 choices for each true/false question, and there are 35 of those. 35×2 is 70. There are 70 ways to answer on the true/false questions.
Now combine the number of choices on the first part and the second part; 100+70 is 170.
