Passing through (-1,1) and parallel to the line whose equation is 3x-2y=7. write an equation for the line in point-slope form.

egenriether · Answer

first solve your equation of the parallel line to get the slope of the line you want (they will be the same since the lines are to be made parallel) .  y= -3/2 +7.  Now you have the slope (-3/2)  Using the two given points in your problem as the points in the point slope form gives (y-1) = (-3/2)*(x - (-1)).  Simplyfing gives y = -3/2x - 1/2
