First you get "y" by itself. To do so you divide 2 on both sides.
y = 3/2x + 5
To write an equation of a line that is PARALLEL to this equation, the slopes have to be the SAME. So the slope is 3/2.
You then use the equation:
y = mx + b
SInce you know "m" you plug it in.
y = 3/2x + b
Now you need to find b. To do so you plug in the point (2, -5) into this equation.
-5 = 3/2(2) + b
-5 = 3 + b
-8 = b
Finally you plug in b and you get your new equation.
y = 3/2x - 8
Y=(-3) include parentheses
Explanation:
y=mx+b is the slope intercept form of a line where b and y is the intercept so,
x-y=x+3: y= -3
Is these the choices to chose from:
<span>A) 2n-15
B) 15-2n
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B
*If so, i think its C*</span>
