You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First you need to put the equation in slope-intercept form;
\n" ); document.write( "3x+2y=8
\n" ); document.write( "2y=-3x+8
\n" ); document.write( "y=-\"3%2F2\"y+4
\n" ); document.write( "Now a line that is parallel to this line is going to have the same slope,which is;
\n" ); document.write( "-\"3%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "So your equation will begn by;
\n" ); document.write( "y=-\"3%2F2\"x+b
\n" ); document.write( "Now we need to find the y-intercept, so with the point given you fill in the equation;
\n" ); document.write( "y-y1=-\"3%2F2\"(x-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "y-2=-\"3%2F2\"(x-6)
\n" ); document.write( "y-2=-\"3%2F2\"x+\"18%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "y-2=-\"3%2F2\"x+9
\n" ); document.write( "y=-\"3%2F2\"x+11
\n" ); document.write( "Hope you understand
\n" ); document.write( "=)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
