Answer:

Find a line which also has 3/4 as the slope or 3x - 4y in standard form.

Explanation:

If the line is 3x - 4y = 1 then the line which is parallel will have the same coefficients of x and y. Parallel lines never cross and to ensure this have the same slope. The slope is a ratio which can be solved for in an equation using the coefficients of x and y. Here the slope is:

3x - 4y = 1

-4y = -3x + 1

y = 3/4x - 1/4.

Find a line which also has 3/4 as the slope or 3x - 4y in standard form.
