The given equation is in slope intercept form so you can see that the slope is 2%2F3. Since you want a parallel line and we know that parallel lines have equal slopes, the slope for the new equation must also be 2%2F3.

We are given the y-intercept as (0, -3), so now we can just fill in the pieces to y=mx%2Bb => y=%282%2F3%29x-3
