+5

3x-5y-15=0   rearrange to solve for y

 

3x - 15  = 5y   divide both sides by 5

 

(3/5)x - 3   = y       the slope is  (3/5)

 

And since parallel lines have the same slope.....the equation of a parallel line passing through  (3, -2)  is

 

y = (3/5) (x - 3) - 2

 

y = (3/5)x - 9/5 - 2

 

y = (3/5)x - 9/5 - 105

 

y = (3/5)x - 19/5

 

 

cool cool cool
