Question

The line parallel to 2x – 3y = 6 and containing (2,6) what is the equation of the line ?

Answer 1

First, write out the equation in slope intercept form.

-3y= -2x+6

y= 2/3x -2

The slope of the equation is 2/3, m.

Substitute the slope and coordinate into y=mx+b. Since it’s parallel, the slope remains the same.

6= 2/3(2)+b

6= 4/3+b

14/3=b

y= 2/3x + 14/3
