Find an equation in point-slope form of the line parallel to the line 3x-4y=-1 and containing (2,2)

Question

This is all the information the question gives and asks me. I'm not quite sure what "point-slope" is either, but I think that if I'm looking for a parallel line the slope should be the same right ?  (3/4) 

Answer 1

Yes, the slope of all parallel lines is the same -- here, that is (3/4).

 

Point=slope form is:

    (y-y₁) = m(x-x₁)   where (x₁,y₁) is a point and m=slope

    (y-2) = (3/4)(x-2)     is in point-slope form
