As we examine 3x plus 4y is equal to 12, so starting with that is what i would do is subtract the 3x to the right side, and they're not like terms so we can't put them together, and then divide everything by 4, and the thought process is y equals negative 3 -4x plus 3, that the slope in this problem is negative 3 -4s.
00:29
So with parallel lines, we have the same slope.
00:34
So at this point, what i would do is think about how we could use point slope form, y minus the y coordinate equals the slope and then x minus the x coordinate.
00:46
And some people actually like this answer better than slope intercept form.
00:52
But now we know that the slope is this negative three -fourths right here.
00:57
And we're also given in the directions that the point is, 2 negative 3.
01:03
So the x coordinate would be 2 and the y coordinate would be negative 3.
01:08
And i'm going to circle this only because some teachers are okay with that answer.
01:14
Otherwise, you might need to distribute that negative 3 -4th into the problem...
