Answer:
A = 2, B = 3 and C = 4
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 )
Given
2x + 3y = 2 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
3y = - 2x + 2 ( divide all terms by 3 )
y = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x + [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus
y = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (2, 0) into the partial equation
0 = - [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] + c ⇒ c = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
y = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x + [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] ← in slope- intercept form
Multiply through by 3
3y = - 2x + 4 ( add 2x to both sides )
2x + 3y = 4 ← in standard form
with A = 2, B = 3 and C = 4
