Since the lines have to be parallel the slopes also have to be the same.

anonymous · Answer

The slope-intercept form is an equation in this form:$\ y = mx + b$, where$\ m$ is the slope and$\ b$ is the location where the line touches the y-axis when$\ x=0$.

In a line that is parallel to$\ y = mx + b$ the only thing that changes is$\ b$. It means that the slope$\ m$ is the same but it touches the y-axis in a different place when$\ x=0$.

I know, I got the answer an y=-3/2x+6 but instead of 6 it should be 7 but I want to know how

The equation that was given cannot me further manipulated.

You must end up with 2 equation: that that was given (written now in slope-intercept form) and the new one that you found.

True.

So I cannot go farther than the equation?
