Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through (–2, 3) and is parallel to 2x + 3y = 6?

Answer 1

2x + 3y = 6
3y = - 2x + 6
y = -2/3x + 2....slope here is -2/3
A parallel line will have the same slope

y = mx + b
slope(m) = - 2/3
(-2,3)...x = -2 and y = 3
now we sub, we r looking for b, the y intercept
3 = -2/3(-2) + b
3 = 4/3 + b
3 - 4/3 = b
9/3 - 4/3 = b
5/3 = b

ur equation is : y = -2/3x + 5/3 (slope intercept form)

y = -2/3x + 5/3
2/3x + y = 5/3
2x + 3y = 5 (standard form)

Answer 2

Paralell lines have the same slope

in the form
ax+by=c
a and b influence the slope
since it is the same slope
a and b remain the same

2x+3y=c
find c
(-2,3)
x=-2
y=3
input those points to find c
2(-2)+3(3)=c
-4+9=c
5=c

the equesiton is

2x+3y=5
