Question

A line has the equation 32 - 2y = 1 What is the equation of

Answer 1

Answer:

A = 3; B = -2; C = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Original line:

3x - 2y = 1

Slope of original line:

-2y = -3x + 1

y = 3/2 x - 1/2

slope = m = 3/2

Parallel lines have equal slopes, so we need the equation of the line with slope 3/2 that passes through the point (-6, -10)

y = mx + b

y = (3/2)x + b

Substitute -6 for x and -10 for y and solve for b.

-10 = (3/2)(-6) + b

-10 + 9 = b

b = -1

Equation: y = (3/2)x - 1

2y = 3x - 2

3x - 2y = 2
