In order to find L, we must know its slope (m) and y-intercept (b). Then L will be:
L+=+m%2AX+%2B+b
We're told that b = -3. So we have to find the slope. In order to find it, bear in mind that when two lines are parallel, they share the same slope. Since L is parallel to the line with equation %282%2F3%29x%2B1, then L has a slope of 2/3. Therefore,
L=%282%2F3%29X+-+3
