Write the equation of the line L which has y-intercept (0,-3) and is parallel to the line with equation y=2/3x+1
Parallel lines have the same slope, so the slope of the new line will also be; 2/3
to find the equation of a line when you are given the slope and a point, use the point slope form;
Y-Y1=m(X-X1)
y-%28-3%29=%282%2F3%29%28x-0%29
y%2B3=%282%2F3%29x-0
y=%282%2F3%29x-3
