write an equation of the line parallel to the line given by -2x+3y=5 and having the same y intercept is the line given by 5x-4y=0
-----------
Find the slope of -2x+3y=5, call it m.
---
Parallel lines have the same slope.
===============
Find the y-int of 5x-4y=0, call it b.
----
Then, y = mx + b

When the equation of a line can be solved for ,
the resulting equation has the form ,
with and being constants called slope and y-intercept respectively.
The form of the many equivalent equations representing a line
is called the form.
The line given by <--> <--> has
slope and y-intercept .
The line given by <--> <--> has
slope and y-intercept .
Parallel lines have the same slope.
You are asking about a line with slope and y-intercept .
The equation for that line in form is
or simply .
