Which is the equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (-1, 5) and is parallel to 3x+2y=4

y= 2/3x+7/2
y= -2/3x+7/2
y= 3/2x-7/2
y= -3/2x+7/2

First, solve 3x+2y=4 for y.

*Subtract 3x from both sides*

2y=-3x+4

*Divide both sides by 2*

y=-3/2x+2

Parallel lines have the same slope so the answer is y=-3/2x+7/2

Hope this helps!!
