Find an equation of a line in standard form that passes through (3,2) and is parallel to
a) y = (1/2)x
Gradient of above = , Any line parallel to this has same gradient
The equation of a line with gradient passing through (, ) is given by
So required equation passing through (3,2) is:

b) x-axis
Any line parallel to x-axis has equation of the form y=c (independent of x)
Line passes through (3,2) is so equation is

c) y-axis
Any line parallel to y-axis has equation of the form x=c (independent of y)
Line passes through (3,2) is so equation is
