Theequationofthelineisy=23x+4

Steps

Step 1 :The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is given by y=mx+c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Step 2 :A line parallel to another line will have the same slope. Therefore, the slope of the line we are trying to find is 23, the same as the given line.

Step 3 :We can find the y-intercept by substituting the coordinates of the given point into the equation and solving for c. So, we substitute x=3 and y=2 into the equation y=mx+c to find the value of c.

Step 4 :Substituting the values we get 2=23(3)+c. Solving for c we get c=4.

Step 5 :Now that we have the slope and the y-intercept, we can write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

Step 6 :Theequationofthelineisy=23x+4
