Question

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form that passes through the point (-3, 5) and is parallel to y=-2/3x

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = \frac{ - 2}{3} x + 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

since it is parallel to y=-2/3x

therefore its slope is equal to -2/3 as well according to y=mx+b where m is the slope

$\frac{y - 5}{x - ( - 3)} = \frac{ - 2}{3}$

cross multiplication, boom, you got it, y=-2/3x+3
