Write an equation of the line parallel to 3x + 5 = 2y that has a y-intercept of -1

3x - 2 = 2y

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 3x + 5 = 2y into this form by dividing all terms by 2

x + = y ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m =

Parallel lines have equal slopes and c = - 1, thus

y = x - 1 ← in slope- intercept form

Multiply through by 2

2y = 3x - 2 ← equation of line

area = length x width

length = 2 x width

32 = 2 x width x width

32 = 2 x width^2

36 = width ^2  

width = 6

length = 12

area is 32

perimeter = 2 x 12 + 2 x 6 = 24 + 12 = 36
