Given:

Equation of line:

Line pass ( 10,6) and parallel to a given line

Find-:

Equation of another line.

Explanation-:

Given line is:

$\begin{gathered} 2y-3=-2(3-2x) \\ \\ 2y-3=-6+4x \\ \\ 2y=4x-6+3 \\ \\ 2y=4x-3 \\ \\ y=(4x)/(2)-(3)/(2) \\ \\ y=2x-(3)/(2) \end{gathered}$

Compared with the general form of the equation:

Where,

$\begin{gathered} m=\text{ Slope} \\ \\ c=y-\text{ intercept} \end{gathered}$

Then

$\begin{gathered} m=2 \\ \\ c=-(3)/(2) \end{gathered}$

The slope of a line is 2 so the slope of the parallel line is also the same then the equation becomes:

$\begin{gathered} y=mx+c \\ \\ y=2x+c \end{gathered}$

For the value of "c"

Line pass (10,6) then,

$\begin{gathered} y=2x+c \\ \\ (x,y)=(10,6) \\ \\ 10=2(6)+c \\ \\ 10=12+c \\ \\ c=10-12 \\ \\ c=-2 \end{gathered}$

So, equation of parallel line is:

$\begin{gathered} y=mx+c \\ \\ y=2x-2 \end{gathered}$
