Question

Write an equation of a line that passes through the point (2, 3) and is parallel to the line y =3/2 x + 5.

y = x
y = x - 7
y = x
y = x + 7

Answer 1

y = -2/3 x
y =-2/3 x - 7
y =3/2 x
y =3/2 x + 7

Answer 2

first you have to get the slope of the line ?
any ideas?

Answer 3

no :/

Answer 4

if you have a two parallel lines their slopes are the same
the slope of the line =?

Answer 5

the slope is the same so its 3/2

Answer 6

right
now you have a slope and a point
and the equation of the line in this case
\[(y -y _{1})=m(x _-x _{1})\]

Answer 7

where
m=slope
(x1,y1)=point

Answer 8

(y-3)=3/2(x-2)

Answer 9

eq. of any line parallel to y=3/2 x +5 is
y=3/2 x+c
if it passes through (2,3)
find c and then the eq.

Answer 10

right
then simplify the equation to
y=(3/2)x-3+3
y=(3/2)x

Answer 11

once you work it out you get 1 right ? so the answer is c ?

Answer 12

yay i get it now!! thank you guys!!

Answer 13

anytime :)
