Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y=3/2 x +5 and goes through the point (0,7)

Answer 1

First, you know that the slope will be the same (3/2).
Plug in the points 0 for x and 7 for y in order to find b.
7=3/2*0+b
b=7
Then put the new slope and y-intercept into the equation:
y=3/2x+7
