Explanation:

Given equation is

2y = 3x + 10

3x - 2y + 10 = 0 .....i)

Any line parallel to line I) is

3x - 2y + k = 0 ......ii)

As the line two passes through the point ( 2 , - 5 ) Now substituting the values

3 * 2 - 2 * ( - 5) + k = 0

6 + 10 + k = 0

16 + k = 0

k = - 16

Now putting the value of k in equation two

3x - 2y + 16 = 0 is the required equation.

Hope it will help :)❤
