Question 53499: The line is parallel to -3x + 2y = 9 and contains the point (-2, 1)
find the equation of each line write answer in slop intercept form.

can any one please help me out with this. thanks a bunch

Remeber that parallel lines have the same slope, so first find the slope of the given line by putting it into the "slope-intercept" form of the equation for a line:
Add 3x to both sides of the equation.
Divide both sides by 2.
Compare this with the slope-intercept form:
and you'll see that the slope, so you can write:
Now, to find b, the y-intercept, you'll need to substitute the x- and y-coordinates of the given point (-2, 1) into this equation and solve for b.
Simplify and solve for b.
Add to both sides.
Now you can write the final equation of the line that is parallel to -3x+2y = 9 and which contains the point (-2, 1)
