Answer:
y = x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Rearrange 3x - 2y = - 6 into this form
Subtract 3x from both sides
- 2y = - 3x - 6 ( divide all terms by - 2 )
y = x + 3 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m =
• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence
y = x + c ← partial equation of parallel line
To find c substitute (4, 2) into the partial equation
2 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 6 = - 4
y = x - 4 ← equation of parallel line
