The line that contains the point Q( 1, -2) and is parallel to the line whose equation is y - 4 = 2/3 (x - 3). i need it in an equation in standard from pls

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need the equation in standard form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Parallel lines always have slopes that are equal. If the slope of a line is 4, then the slope of a line parallel to that line is also 4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):
