You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The equation of a line is y = mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "If two lines are parallel, they have the same slope.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1) change the given line to y = form.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 3y = 7
\n" ); document.write( "3y = -2x + 7
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"-2%2F3\"x + \"7%2F3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So your slope is \"-2%2F3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2) Next you have the y and x of the equation. You plug these into the y = form to find b, your y-intercept.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5 = \"-2%2F3\"*6 + b
\n" ); document.write( "5 = -4 + b
\n" ); document.write( "9 = b\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now you have you slope, m, and your y-int, b, your ready to write your equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = \"-2%2F3\"x + 9\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
