Answer:
y= -3/2x + 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- Line y= -3/2x - 1 and point (3, -2)
To find:
- Equation for the line parallel to the given that passes through the given point.
Solution
The given line has a slope of -3/2
The parallel line will have the same slope
The point-slope form:
We have m = -3/2, y1= -2, x1 = 3, plug in:
- y - (-2) = -3/2(x - 3)
- y + 2 = -3/2(x - 3)
- y = -3/2x + 9/2 - 2
- y = -3/2x + 5/2
