Hi,
What is the equation of a line that is parallel to the line 3x-2y=4
Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
Solving for y
3x - 2y = 4
3x-4 = 2y
| Slope m = 3/2
Lines parallel have identical slopes:
There are infinite lines that could be parallel to the given line
