Write an equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point
3x + 2y = 5; (2,6)


A y +6 = -(x + 2)
y-6 = - (x - 2)
Cy-2 - - 3 (x+6)
Dy6=2(x + 2)

Respuesta :

Option B:

Equation of a line is

[tex]$y-6=\frac{-3}{2} (x-2)[/tex]

Solution:

Equation of a parallel line:

3x + 2y = 5

2y = –3x + 5

[tex]$y=\frac{-3x}{2}+\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Slope of this line, [tex]m_1=\frac{-3}{2}[/tex]

If two lines are parallel, then slopes of their lines are equal.

[tex]m_1=m_2[/tex]

[tex]m_2=\frac{-3}{2}[/tex]

The line passes through the point (2, 6)

Point-slope formula:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex]$y-6=\frac{-3}{2} (x-2)[/tex]

This is the equation of the line.

Option B is the correct answer.
