Parallel lines have same slope 3x - 4y + 12 = 0 4y = 3x + 12 y = 3/4 x + 3 so the slope is 3/4
general form of the line is y=mx+c if the line passes through this point (1,2) and has the slope of 3/4 y = mx + c 2 = (3/4)*1 + c c = 2 - (3/4) c = 5/4
therefore the general form of the line is y = (3/4)x + 5/4
