You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write the equation of a line that passes through the point (2,3) and is parallel to 3y + 2x =7.
The given equation has slope = -2/3
------
Form of equation: y = mx + b
---
You have x,y, and m ; solve for "b"::
3 = (-2/3)2 + b
b = (9/3)+(4/3)
b = 13/3
------------------
Equation:
y = (-2/3)x + (13/3)
----------------
