Question

Find the equation of the straight line parallel to 2y=3x-7 and passing though the point (0.5,-1)

Answer 1

2y=3x-7 
y = 3/2x - 7/2
y = 1.5x - 3.5 so slope = 1.5
line parallel so it has same slope = 1.5

y +1 = 1.5(x - 0.5)
y + 1 = 1.5x - 0.75
y = 1.5x  - 1.75

answer: equation y = 1.5x  - 1.75
