1 y = 6 x + 0
Divide by 1
y = 6 x + 0
Compare this equation with y=mx+b
slope m = 6
The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same
The slope of the required line will be 6
m= 6 ,point ( - 2/ 3 , 1 )
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
y=mx+b
1 = -4 + b
b= 5
m= 6
Plug value of the slope and b in y = mx +b
The required equation is y = 6 x + 5
