write the equation that is parallel to y=-3/2x-1 and that passes through the point. 4,6

Answer 1

The given line is in the standard "slope-intercept" format: y = mx + b, so the slope is -3/2. This will also be the slope of the new equation.

To find b, simply plug in the slope for m, and plug in the given point for x and y. Then you can solve for b.
