What is the equation of the line that passes through (–2, 3) and is parallel to 2x + 3y = 6?

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

OK lets try again ok? :) for ax+by=c, the slope=-a/b so what is the slope here?

OpenStudy (sonyalee77):

2

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

What about the - and /b part?

OpenStudy (sonyalee77):

6

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

It is /b not *b....also dont forget the - part in front.

OpenStudy (sonyalee77):

-2/3

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

YEAH :) so now u have the new equation of the parallel: y=-2/3x + c okay?

OpenStudy (sonyalee77):

is c 6

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

Nope but u can find c by putting x=-2 n y=3 into the eqn
