1. Problem Description

We are asked to find the equation of a line that is parallel to the line 2y=3(x2)2y = 3(x-2) and passes through the point (2,3)(2, 3).

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to find the slope of the given line 2y=3(x2)2y = 3(x-2). We can rewrite this equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+by = mx + b), where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept.
2y=3(x2)2y = 3(x-2)
2y=3x62y = 3x - 6
y=32x3y = \frac{3}{2}x - 3
So, the slope of the given line is 32\frac{3}{2}.
Since we want to find a line parallel to the given line, the parallel line will have the same slope. Thus, the slope of the parallel line is also 32\frac{3}{2}.
Now we know the slope of the parallel line is 32\frac{3}{2}, and it passes through the point (2,3)(2, 3). We can use the point-slope form of a line, which is:
yy1=m(xx1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)
where mm is the slope and (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) is a point on the line. In this case, m=32m = \frac{3}{2} and (x1,y1)=(2,3)(x_1, y_1) = (2, 3).
Plugging in these values, we get:
y3=32(x2)y - 3 = \frac{3}{2}(x - 2)
y3=32x3y - 3 = \frac{3}{2}x - 3
y=32x3+3y = \frac{3}{2}x - 3 + 3
y=32xy = \frac{3}{2}x

3. Final Answer

The equation of the line is y=32xy = \frac{3}{2}x. The correct answer is C.
