Any line that is parallel to 2x-3y=1 is the equation 2x-3y=C where C is any real number (but 1)

2x-3y=C

2(3)-3(0)=C ... Plug in (3,0) which is the point the parallel line goes through.

6-0=C

6=C

C = 6

So the equation of the parallel line in standard form is 2x - 3y = 6

If you want the equation in slope intercept form, then

So the equation of the parallel line in slope-intercept form is
