Answer :

The equation of a line that is parallel to 4x+3y=12 and passes through the point (3, 4) is 4x+3y = 24

The standard form of equation of line is y=m x+ b

where m is slope of line and b is y-intercept.

According to the question,

The required line is parallel to line whose equation is 4x + 3y = 12

Slope of given line =

3y = 12 - 4x

dividing by 3 both sides,

y = 12/3 - 4/3x

=> y = 4 - 4/3x

Slope of given line = -4/3

If two lines are parallel their slopes are equal to each other

Hence , Slope of required line : m = -4/3

Equation of line : y = -4/3x + b ------------(1)

It is given that required line also passes through the point = (3,4)

substituting the values of x = 3 and y=4 in equation (1)

=> (4) = (-4/3)(3) + b

=> 4 = -4 +b

=> b = 8

Substituting the value of b,

The equation of required line is y = -4/3x + 8

multiplying by 3 both sides,

3y = -4x + 24

=> 4x+3y = 24
