Question

which is the equation of a line that passes through the point (3,2) and is parallel to the line in the graph?​

Answer 1

A. 3x - 2y = 5

Explanation:

Given line in the graph has the following properties:

using point (2,3)

m = slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (5-2)/(2-0) = 3/2

New line passes through y0(3,2), so use the point-slope form

(y-y0) = m (x-x0)

substitute in value y0(3,2)

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

multiply by 2 on each side

2y - 4 = 3x - 9

simplify and rearrange

3x - 2y = -4 + 9 =5

3x - 2y = 5
