Question 736647: What is the equation of the line described below written in slope-intercept form?
the line passing through point (0, 0) and parallel to the line whose equation is 3x + 2y - 6 = 0
Solve the given equation for in terms of everything else, then determine the slope of the given line by inspection of the coefficient on . This will also be the slope of the required line because parallel lines have identical slopes. Then use the point-slope form of an equation of a line:
where are the coordinates of the given point and is the given/calculated slope.
All that is left is to put the result into slope-intercept form. Solve the equation for in terms of everything else. The result will be something that looks like , though may be zero and therefore not present.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! What is the equation of the line described below
written in slope-intercept form?
the line passing through point (0, 0) and parallel to the line whose equation is 3x + 2y - 6 = 0
------
Solve the given equation for "y":
y = (-3/2)x + 3
------
slope = -3/2
----------------------------
Equation of the line with the same slope and passing thru (0,0):
y = (-3/2)x
