Question

Write the equation in slope intercept form of the line parallel to -3x+2y=9 and goes through the point (-2,1)

Answer 1

so it is parallel to -3x+2y=9, hence they have the same slope.
we can take the slope from y=3/2x+9/2, where m=3/2.
then just plug into (y-y0)=m(x-x0) to find the equation of the line, where x0=-2 and y0=1 (in case you aren't used to the notation)
and you will get: y=3/2x-2

Answer 2

m = 3/2
y-1 = 3/2(x+2)
