You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If line L is parallel to y=2%2F3x%2B1, they will have the same slope
The slope of this line is 2/3.
Therefore, the slope of our line is 2/3
The equation of a line is y=mx%2Bb
m=slope , b=y-int
we know the y intercept of line L is -3.
When we substitute these two pieces of information, we get our final equation of line L as y=%282%2F3%29x=3
