Parallel lines have identical slope.
\n" ); document.write( "Using the slope intercept of a line, your line is,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=mx%2Bb\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%282%2F3%29x%2Bb\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Use your point (0,-3) to solve for b.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-3=%282%2F3%29%280%29%2Bb\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"b=-3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Your equation is therefore,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%282%2F3%29x-3\"$
