Write an equation of the line passing through the point (2,-1) and parallel to the line y = 3/2 x -5 Give your answer in slope intercept form .?

Answer 1

line with slope = 3/2 (parallel lines have the same slope = to the coefficient of the x term, when the equation is solved for y), through the point

(2, -1)

y+1 = (3/2)(x-2)

y = 3x/2 - 3 -1

y = 3x/2 -4 where 3/2 = slope and -4 = y intercept

y = (3/2)x - 4 is the parallel line through the given point, in slope intercept form

with slope = 3/2 and intercept = -4
