Question 155009: Write a slope intercept equation for the line parallel to 3x + 2y = 10 passing through the point (-1, -2).
This is how far I got using the formula: y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-(-2)=-3/2(x-(-1)
y+2 =-3/2(x+1)
y+2 =-3/2 + -3/2
y= -3/2 + (-3/2x2)
y= -3/2 + -3/4
Did I go wrong somewhere? Please help, it would be greatly appreciated.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y-(-2)=-3/2(x-(-1) (good)
y+2 =-3/2(x+1) (good)
y+2 =-3/2 + -3/2 (wrong from here)
y= -3/2 + (-3/2x2)
y= -3/2 + -3/4
Solution:
y-%28-2%29=-%283%2F2%29%28x-%28-1%29%29
y%2B2+=-%283%2F2%29%28x%2B1%29
y%2B2=-%283%2F2%29x-3%2F2
