3 x-2y= 7
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of this line
\n" ); document.write( "make y the subject
\n" ); document.write( "-2y=-3x +7
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by -2
\n" ); document.write( " y = 3/ 2x-7/2
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = 3/ 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 3/ 2
\n" ); document.write( "m= 3/ 2 ,point ( -3 , -5 )
\n" ); document.write( "Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "-5 = -9/ 2 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= - 1/ 2
\n" ); document.write( "m= 3/2
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and b in y = mx +b
\n" ); document.write( "The required equation is y =3/2 x- 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
