Hi,

 



Passing through the point (2,8) and parallel to the line equation 3x+2y=13



parallel to the line equation 

3x+2y=13   OR y = (-3/2)x + 13/2   m = (-3/2)

Parallel  lines have identical slopes

New Line

 y = (-3/2)x + b  |Using ordered pair (2,8) to solve for b

 8 = (-3/2)*2 + b

 11 = b

  y =  (-3/2)x + 11  OR 3x+2y = 22
