Answer:

y=-3/2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

simplify 3x+2y=6 first

-3x. -3x

2y= -3x+6

Divide by 2

y= -3/2x+3

since it's parallel you would use the same slope

slope= -3/2x

Now you need to find b (x-intercept)

point (-2,1)=(x,y) use this to plug into y=mx+b

=

(1)=-3/2(-2)+b (simplify)

1 = 3+b

-3 -3

-2= b

so put it together and get

y=-3/2x-2
