y=2/3x-3 is in the form y = mx+b where the slope is m = 2/3

ANY line parallel to the given one is going to also have a slope of 2/3. All parallel lines have the same slope.

This unknown line has a slope of 2/3 and must go through the origin. Which means that the y intercept is 0.

Slope = 2/3
y intercept = 0

So we know m = 2/3 and b = 0 turning y = mx+b into y = (2/3)x + 0 which simplifies to y+=+expr%282%2F3%29x

Final Answer: y+=+expr%282%2F3%29x
