Answer:

y = 3/2x +1

Explanation:

You want the equation of the line through point (2, 4) parallel to y = 6/4x -14.

Point-slope form

The slope of the desired line is the same as that of the given line: 6/4 = 3/2. The point-slope equation of a line with slope m through point (h, k) is ...

y -k = m(x -h)

The line with slope 3/2 through point (2, 4) is ...

y -4 = 3/2(x -2)

Slope-intercept form

This can be rearranged to slope-intercept form:

y = 3/2x -3 +4 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, add 4

y = 3/2x +1 . . . . . parallel line through point (2, 4)
