Question

write an equation of the line parallel to the line given by 3x-2y=8 and having the same y- intercept as the line given by 2y+3=-4

Answer 1

first equation:
2y=3x-8
y=3/2 x -4
you have the slope, so theline parallel to this has a slope of 3/2

second equation:
2y=hmmmm. where is the x?
anyway,find the y intercept (where x is zero).

then, your equation is y=3/2 x +yntercept

Answer 2

thank you
