Parallel lines have identical slopes.
y=%284%2F3%29x%2Bb
Use the point to solve for b
1=%284%2F3%29%28-1%29%2Bb
3%2F3=-4%2F3%2Bb
b=7%2F3
y=%284%2F3%29x%2B7%2F3

Hi,

y=green%284%2F3%29x%2B4%2F3  parallel lines have equal slopes

***Using point-slope form, y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+m%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29 P(-1,1)

 y -1 = (4/3)(x+1)

  y = (4/3)x + (4/3) + 1

  y = (4/3)x + 7/3
