Write the equation of the line L satisfying the given geometric conditions.
L has y-intercept (0, -3) and is parallel to the line with equation
y=2/3x+1
1- Parallel lines have the same slopes. Therefore, the slope of line L must also be 2/3.
2- Given that the y-intercept is -3, the equation of line L would be written as follows:
y=2/3x-3
3- See the graph below showing both lines.
