.
The parallel line has the same slope of (2/3).

The perpendicular line has the slope of (-3/2), which is the opposite reciprocal to the given value of (2/3).

Do not know unless you know also a point of one of the lines.

y=%282%2F3%29x%2Bb, the given line

The line wanted, parallel to given line, y=%282%2F3%29x%2Bd.



A perpendicular line to the given?
y=-%283%2F2%29x%2Bv


More specific results if you are given some particular point for one of the lines.
