You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Any line parallel to +3x+%2B+2y+=+6+ will have
the same slope
Put the equation into slope-intercept form
+3x+%2B+2y+=+6+
subtract +3x+ from both sides
+2y+=+-3x+%2B+6+
Divide both sides by 2
+y+=+-%283%2F2%29%2Ax+%2B+3+
A parallel line has slope = +-%283%2F2%29+
