Answer

Given,

x2y31=0y3=x21y=32x3.\Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{2} - \dfrac{y}{3} - 1 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{y}{3} = \dfrac{x}{2} - 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow y = \dfrac{3}{2}x - 3.

Comparing above equation with y = mx + c we get,

Slope = 32\dfrac{3}{2}

Since, slope of parallel lines are equal.

Hence, slope of line parallel to x2y31=0\dfrac{x}{2} - \dfrac{y}{3} - 1 = 0 is 32\dfrac{3}{2}.
