Question

Write an equation of a line that passes through the point (2.3) and is parallel to the line y = 3/2 x + 5

Answer 1

Answer:

y = (3/2)x

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope only the constant in the slope intercept equation changes.

to find the new slope intercept, b, plug in the point (2, 3) and m = 3/2

3 = (3/2)(2) + b

3 = 3 + b

b = 0

The parallel line is

y = (3/2)x
