Write the equation for a line in point slope form and in slope intercept form parallel to 3x-4y=12 and passes through (8,3).

well, the slope is 3/4

so plug that into the other forms.

y = 3/4 x + ?

y-k = 3/4 (x-h)
y = (3/4) x - 3

so slope = 3/4

y = (3/4) x + b
3 = (3/4)8 + b
b = -3
so
y = (3/4) x - 3

or
3/4 = (y-3)/(x-8)
