Answer:
[tex]y = \frac{-2}{3}x + 2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is convert the given equation in a dependent and independent equation.
[tex]2x + 3y = 12[/tex]
[tex]3y = 12 - 2x[/tex]
[tex]y = 4 - \frac{2}{3}x[/tex]
[tex]x[/tex] is the independent variable and [tex]y[/tex] the dependent variable.
Since both lines are parallel the slope of both equations are the same
[tex]y = \frac{-2}{3}x + b[/tex]
Now for find the unknow [tex]b[/tex] replace the [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] fo the given point.
[tex]4 = (\frac{2}{3})3 + b[/tex]
[tex]4 = 2 + b[/tex]
[tex]4 - 2 = b[/tex]
[tex]2 = b[/tex]
So the final equation is equal to
[tex]y = \frac{-2}{3}x + 2[/tex]
