Question

Passing through (-3,1) 3x-2y=5. write answer in point slope and slope intercept form?

Answer 1

are you looking for a line parallel to 3x-2y=5?
cause I actually didn't understand the question. SORRY.

Answer 2

yes parallel

Answer 3

OK. Slope intercept form is basically in the form y=mx+b. So rewrite the equation 3x-2y=5, which will become y=(3/2)x-(5/2). Point slope form is in the form y-y1=m(x-x1). So substitute the points (-3, 1) for x1 and y1, where the slope m=3/2, which you'll get y-1=3/2(x+3), which is the point slope form. Hope this helps!

Answer 4

oh okay

Answer 5

i had y-1=3/2(x+3)

Answer 6

so that's where i went wrong

Answer 7

Yup, that's the point slope form. You're right!

Answer 8

thanks

Answer 9

so, it was y = 3/2x - 5/2
to make a line parallel to it, you will start with y = 3/2x because parallel lines have the same slopes. then you will find a y intercept that will satisfy the equation when you substitute (-3,1). then the equation would be 1 = -4.5 + ?. so you will find a number that will make it 1 = 1. 5.5 is the suitable number. the answer would be y = 3/2x + 5.5
im pretty sure this is right. i used a graphing program to help with and they end up parallel to 3x-2y=5.
