Hi
parallel to the line 2x+3y+4=0 OR y = -(2/3)x -3/4
Good work on finding slope of the line parallel to our new line.
Note: the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is
y = mx + b where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
New Line: parallel lines have identical slopes..
y = -(2/3)x + 6 |Using the y-intercept given that is 6
