start by checking the master cylinder break booster by unplugging the vacuum hose connecting it to the intake manifold and capping it, if it starts easier you might have an internal failure in the booster. If not, check for leaks in the hose its self and manifold leaks.

What is a blown brake line?
Motor vehicle brakes are usually hydraulic, which means that the brake pedal is basically a pump. pushing the brake pedal pumps some brake fluid through pipes and hoses out to the brakes at the wheels, activating the brake pads. The pipes and hoses are also referred to as "lines", and they can spring leaks if they get too old, damged and worn.
