Hi,
What is the equation of a line that is parallel to the line 3x-2y=4
Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is y+=+green%28m%29x+%2B+b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
Solving 3x-2y=4 for y
3x - 2y = 4
3x-4 = 2y
++y+=+green%283%2F2%29x+-+2 | Slope m = 3/2
Lines parallel have identical slopes:
There are infinite lines that could be parallel to the given line
One ex: ++y+=+green%283%2F2%29x+
