3 x + -2 y = 7
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of this line
\n" ); document.write( "make y the subject
\n" ); document.write( "-2 y = -3 x + 7
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by -2
\n" ); document.write( " y = 1.5 x -3.5
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = 1.5 1 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of the required line will be 1.5
\n" ); document.write( "m= 1.5 ,point ( 2 , 3 )
\n" ); document.write( "Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "3 = 3.00 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= 0 0
\n" ); document.write( "m= 1.5 1 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and b in y = mx +b
\n" ); document.write( "The required equation is y = 1.5 x
\n" ); document.write( " (y = 3/ 2 )
