Consider an infinite geometric series with first term a and common ratio $$r$$. If its sum is 4 and the second term is 3/4, then

Let $$PS$$ be the median of the triangle with vertices $$P(2, 2),$$ $$Q(6, -1)$$ and $$R(7, 3).$$ The equation of the line passing through $$(1, -1)$$ and parallel to $$PS$$ is
