Please help me !!!!!

Answer 1

Whenever you want to write the equation of a parallel line through some point (h, k), you can ...

• remove any added constant in the original given equation
• replace x with (x-h)
• replace y with (y-k)
• rearrange the resulting equation to the form required by the problem.

Using this formula here, we get

... 2(y +5) = 3(x -2)

Your answer form requires you solve this for y.

... 2y + 10 = 3x -6 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

... 2y = 3x -16 . . . . . . . . subtract the constant on the left (10)

... y = (3/2)x -8 . . . . . . divide by 2
