Write the equation of a line parallel to the line 2x + 3y = 5 and passes through the point (9, -3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well what's the slope of that line first of all?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2 right cuz i subtract

OpenStudy (anonymous):

........ put this in slope-intercept form first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=-2/3x+5/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i plug them in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what's the slope of it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah so a parallel line would have the same slope - so just plug in to find the new intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh ok i get it thx
