1. Given the line with the equation y = 3x + 2, find the slope of a line that is parallel to this line.
2. Calculate the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line represented by the equation y = -4x + 1.
3. Write the equation of a line that is parallel to the line y = 2x - 5 and passes through the point (3, 4). Provide your answer in slope-intercept form.
