2 x -3 y = 7
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of this line
\n" ); document.write( "make y the subject
\n" ); document.write( "-3 y = -2 x + 7
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by -3
\n" ); document.write( " y = 2/3 x -2 1/3
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = 2/3
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of the required line will be 2/3
\n" ); document.write( "m= 2/3 ,point ( -1 , 3 )
\n" ); document.write( "Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "3 = - 2/ 3 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= 11/3
\n" ); document.write( "m= 2/3
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and b in y = mx +b
\n" ); document.write( "The required equation is y = 2/3 x + 11/ 3
\n" ); document.write( "
