SOLUTION: Find the equation of the line that: pass trough (-1,2) and is parllel to the line 3x-2y=6

Question 141109: Find the equation of the line that:
pass trough (-1,2) and is parllel to the line 3x-2y=6

3x-2y=6
2Y=-3X+6
Y=-3X/2+6/2
Y=-3X/2+3 this line has a slope of -3/2 (red line)
any parallel line also has a slope=-3/2
2=-3/2*-1+b
2=3/2+b
b=2-3/2
b=4/2-3/2
b=1/2 answer.
line formula for this line is:
y=-3x/2+1/2 (green line)
(graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, of TWO functions -3x/2 +3 and -3x/2 +1/2).
