Write the equation for a line that is parallel to y=3/2x-9/5 and goes thru the point (4,11)
---------------
Since y=(3/2)x-9/5 (I assume it's not 3/(2x) is in slope-intercept form, the slope, m, is 3/2.
All lines parallel have the same slope.
Use
y-y1 = m*(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is the point.
y-11 = (3/2)*(x-4)
y-11 = 3x/2 - 3
y = 3x/2 + 8
---------------
or 3x - 2y = -16
