y=-1.5x or y=-(3/2)x

Answer:

The slope intercept form of the required line is [tex]y=\frac{-3}{2}x[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is defined as

[tex]Ax+By+C=0[/tex]        ... (1)

Then the slope of the line is

[tex]m=\frac{-A}{B}[/tex]

The given equation is

[tex]3x+2y-6=0[/tex]       .... (2)

From (1) and (2), we get

[tex]A=3, B=2, C=-6[/tex]

The slope of the line is

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

The slope of parallel line is same. So, the slope of required line is -3/2.

The slope intercept form of a line is

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

The slope of required line is -3/2 and y-intercept is at (0,0).

[tex]y=\frac{-3}{2}x+0[/tex]

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

Therefore the slope intercept form of the required line is [tex]y=\frac{-3}{2}x[/tex].
