Parallel lines have equal slopes.
Therefore, it will be one with the same slope.
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
3x - 2y = 6
-2y = -3x + 6 {subtracted 3x from both sides}
y = 3/2x - 3 {divided both sides by -2}
slope = 3/2
B.) y = 3/2x + 4 {has the same slope as this line}
