Question

Write an equation of a line that passes through the point (2,3) and is parallel to the line y=3/2x+5
A) y=-2/3x
B) y=-2/3x-7
C) y=3/2x
D) y=3/2x+7

Answer 1

Answer 2

What's the slope of y=3/2x+5

Answer 3

im not sure

Answer 4

hint: y = mx+b has a slope of m

Answer 5

am I supposed to add?

Answer 6

@jim_thompson5910

Answer 7

for example

y = 3x + 7 has a slope of 3

notice how m = 3 in this case

Answer 8

the slop is 3/2?

Answer 9

* slope

Answer 10

@jim_thompson5910

Answer 11

correct

Answer 12

the slope of any parallel line to y=3/2x+5 will also have a slope of 3/2

this is because parallel lines have equal slopes

Answer 13

which choices have slopes of 3/2?

Answer 14

C & D? @jim_thompson5910

Answer 15

I think is it C.

Answer 16

why C and not D?
